Safety coupling (1) comprising a driving coupling member (3) engaged with a driven coupling member (5) by a frictional connection (6). The frictional connection (6) can be disconnected by activation of a release element (17). The release element (17) can be activated by a centrifugal device (22) wherein a centrifugal unit (24) of the centrifugal device (22) is radial moveable to interact with a shifting gate (50) in dependence of the revolution speed of the centrifugal unit (24) and the slip between the driving coupling member (3) and the driven coupling member (5). The centrifugal device (22) comprises a stop (35, 135) to limit the centrifugal force applied to the centrifugal unit (24).
