<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic clutch device to be prevented from exercising any influence by disturbance and from providing a decreased life for a clutch mechanism. SOLUTION: This automatic clutch device comprises a clutch mechanism provided with an input shaft coupled to a power source and an output shaft coupled to a mechanism to be driven, a clutch actuator to switch engagement and disengagement of the clutch mechanism, and a control mechanism to control operation of the clutch actuator. The control mechanism causes a difference between transmittable torque, transmittable to the clutch mechanism, and drive torque actually inputted to the input shaft of the clutch mechanism of form surplus torque and effects feedback control of actual surplus torque so that it coincides with target surplus torque.</p> |
