ABSTRACT:
A torque transmission clutch which disengages automatically on increase of torque beyond a particular value comprises a pair of like discs mounted to rotate with a drive shaft and a driven shaft respectively, each disc having through-extending apertures accommodating a ring of balls. The balls are all the same size and the number of balls in each ring is the same. The disc thickness is equal to the ball radius and the discs are held axially in a sleeve with a spacing equal to the ball radius. One ring of balls abuts a thrust disc located axially on one shaft and the other ring of balls is pressed by a spring-loaded thrust disc to interengage with the balls of the one ring in the space between the ball-retaining discs. On occurrence of excessive torque, the spring-loaded ring of balls is deflected axially and rides over the balls bearing against the axially-located ring.
