ABSTRACT:
A self-centering dog clutch includes two coupling-parts is arranged in a simple manner such that components serving for centering purposes are not necessary. Contact faces of the two coupling-parts are off-set relative to the rotational axis of the dog clutch. This results in a radial component of force which serves to center the two coupling-parts. The recesses in the first, driven coupling-part have a larger surface area than the drive claws engaging therein of the second, driving coupling-part. The two coupling-parts can thereby rotate against each other through a predetermined angle. This dog clutch is particularly suitable for use with agricultural machines.
