A torque limiting coupling (5) has a plurality of slide-like driving members (19) circumferentially and movably distributed in a coupling hub (10). The unit is rotatably accommodated in a coupling sleeve (7). The driving members (19), with their torque transmitting faces (25) at their heads, are pushed by a spring assembly (38, 39) and switching cams (32) into correspondingly designed recesses (22) of the coupling sleeve (7). The pressure springs (38, 39) and the switching faces (30, 31) of the driving members (19) as well as the torque transmitting face (25) are arranged so as to extend in the same direction. Thus, the springs (38, 39), during the transmission of torque by the coupling sleeve (7), subject the driving members (19) to a moment which acts against the tilting moment resulting from the transmission of torque. This results in an improved wear and switching behavior.

Cette invention concerne un accouplement limiteur de couple (5) comportant une série de patins d'entraînement mobiles (19) répartis circonférentiellement dans un moyeu d'accouplement (10). L'ensemble est logé dans un manchon d'accouplement (7) de façon à pouvoir y tourner. Les patins d'entraînement (19) qui ont leur face de transmission de couple (25) à la périphérie du manchon (7) sont poussés dans des évidements conjugués (30, 31) dudit manchon (7) par un élément à ressort (38, 39) agissant sur une came de progressivité (32). Les ressorts (38,39) et les cames de progressivité (30, 31) des patins (19) ainsi que la face de transmission de couple de ces derniers sont agencés pour un déplacement orienté dans la même direction. Ainsi, en cours de transmission du couple par le manchon d'accouplement (7), les ressorts (38, 39) appliquent aux patins (19) un moment destiné à contrecarrer le moment d'inclinaison résultant de la transmission du couple, avec pour résultat une progressivité et une résistance à l'usure améliorées.
