A hub clutch device for connecting and disconnecting an axle and a wheel in a part time four-wheel drive vehicle, includes a wheel hub having a flange portion secured to the wheel, a hollow spindle secured to a vehicle body, and a roller member positioned between the wheel hub and the hollow spindle. A housing with a gear portion covers an outer side of the wheel hub and defines a first sealed chamber. A bellows with a second sealed chamber being substantially vacuum is provided with a spring member pressing the bellows in an axial direction. A sliding gear always engaging the gear portion of the housing is axially movable according to a motion of the bellows to connect the axle with the wheel in a rotational direction. A pressure producing unit is provided to move the bellows against a spring force of the spring member.
