TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH Abstract of the Disclosure A rotary transmission assembly for mounting on a shaft includes a slip clutch for limiting the torque which may be transmitted between a chain sprocket forming part of the transmis- sion assembly and the shaft. The sprocket is rotatably mounted on a hub which may be keyed to the shaft. Adjacent and approxi- mately co-planar radial faces of hub and sprocket both include serrated clutching surfaces. Torque transmission between shaft and sprocket is completed by an annular connecting clutch element having a face including concentric inner and outer annular clutch- ing surfaces having sets of serrations for mating respectively with the clutching surfaces of the hub and sprocket. A compression spring holds the serrations in engagement in normal operation. When a predetermined torque is exceeded, the clutching surfaces separate axially until relative rotation can take place between the sprocket and hub.
