PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the structure of a device and to reduce the size and weight of the device. SOLUTION: This torque transmission device comprises: a clutch part 51 transmitting a torque between rotating members by receiving a pressing force; a ball cam mechanism 53 imparting the pressing force to the clutch part 51 by converting a rotating input to a thrust; and a motor 55 performing a rotating input. The ball cam mechanism 53 comprises: a first cam plate 109 receiving the rotating input; and a second cam plate 111 disposed oppositely to the first cam plate 109 so as to be unrotatable and movable in the axial direction. Cam grooves 115 and 117 are formed, in an Archimedis spiral shape, in the first and second cam plates 109 and 111 along the rotating direction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
