Clutch for automatic engagement with or release from torque-transmitting shafts has shear bolts transmitting torque to shaft unit and also taking axial thrust on shaft

摘要

The clutch is for shafts transmitting axial movement as well as torque. The shear bolts, which can be inserted and withdrawn radially, transmit the torque of the shaft unit and also take the axial thrust on the shaft. The radial force of the bolts which is directed inward is supported by a displaceable ring (4), movable by a following movement of the clutch.
