ABSTRACT:
A gear clutch comprises an annular clutch casing with a plurality of internal teeth and a clutch hub having a plurality of external teeth meshed with the internal teeth. The clutch is coaxial with the clutch casing and the external teeth have a load bearing part and a root. The clutch hub has an annular axially extending groove extending into the root from one side of the external teeth and ending below the external teeth and an annular radially extending groove on an opposite side of the external teeth and defining with the axially extending groove a cylindrical annular break section of a size smaller than that of the load bearing part, whereby the break section breaks before the load bearing part breaks when the gear clutch is overloaded.
