CLUTCH APPARATUS

摘要

A clutch apparatus comprises a torque limiter body and a solenoid brake magnet. The torque limiter body is pivotable relative to the solenoid brake magnet when torque acting between the torque limiter body and the solenoid brake magnet is greater than a threshold value, and is not pivotable relative to the solenoid brake magnet when the torque is less than the threshold value. Energisation of coil assembly enables the torque limiter body to pivot relative to the solenoid brake magnet.

1. A clutch apparatus comprising:
at least one first member; at least one second member; at least one clutch device acting between at least one said first member and at least one said second member, wherein said first member is pivotable relative to said second member when torque acting between said first and second members is greater than at least one threshold value, and said first member is not pivotable relative to said second member when said torque is less than said threshold value; and at least one clutch overriding device configured to selectively enable at least one said first member to pivot relative to at least one said second member.
