ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a torque limiting clutch consisting of a locking member clutch 1 and a free-wheeling clutch 3. The locking member clutch 1 comprises first locking members 4 which engage recesses 6 in the clutch sleeve 7. The locking members 4 are radially movably arranged in bores of the clutch hub and pretensioned by springs 14. After leaving the recesses 6, the cams 5 are prevented from swinging backwards by means of a tilting wedge 8 arranged in a receiving recess 20 of the clutch hub 3 and by supporting itself against the torque transmitting direction with its supporting face 12 on the supporting face 9 associated with a recess 10 in the clutch sleeve 7. In this way, the cams 5 are prevented from swinging backwards and being damaged in the process.
