Abstract

A torque limiting clutch comprises a driving member 24 provided with a plurality of spaced apart radially extending recesses 40 which are adapted to engage clutch balls 52 located in radial grooves 48 of a driven member 46, 16 and urged outwardly by a spring 56 up to a predetermined torque. In one embodiment the balls 52 are acted upon by a spring-biased ring 54 having a wedge surface 66 coacting with the clutch balls. In another embodiment, the radial grooves have an inclined ramp along which the bails are forced against a flat- sided, spring-biassed ring. The force provided by the spring 56 may be adjustable to vary the torque value at which the clutch slips. <IMAGE>
