ABSTRACT:
A torque limiting clutch having a torque limit which is easily calibrated and relatively constant throughout the service life of the clutch. The clutch includes a pair of rotatable members which are rotatably coupled by resilient friction members yieldably engaging one of the pair of members and securing to the other of the pair of members. The friction elements are configured to achieve substantially uniform friction force and wear along their friction surfaces. According to one embodiment of the invention standard commercial snap rings may be employed as the friction elements.
