An overload clutch for transmitting a relatively high torque comprising a pair of rotatable members, one of the members carrying a number of torque limiters in planet fashion around its axis of rotation, the torque limiters being connected to male drive transmitting abutments which are maintained by the torque limiters in drive transmitting engagement with further, female, drive transmitting abutments carried by the other rotatable member. The female drive transmitting abutments are mounted for movement relative to the male drive transmitting abutments in a second path, different to the path for disconnecting the drive between the members, to permit the abutments to be re-engaged concurrently with resetting of the torque limiters after disengagement of the abutments on application of a torque to the clutch above a predetermined value. |
