PCT No. PCT/SE89/00371 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 21, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 21, 1990 PCT Filed Jun. 29, 1989 PCT Pub. No. WO90/00231 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 11, 1990.A torque-limiting clutch arrangement which comprises a cylindrical part (3) forming part of one clutch element and having shrink-fitted thereon a cylindrical sleeve (5) which forms part of the other clutch element. The clutch arrangement also includes a pump which when one clutch element (3) rotates relative to the other clutch element (5), when the torque on the clutch exceeds a given value, functions to pump oil into the domain of engagement between the cylindrical part (3) and the sleeve (5), so as to form a hydrostatic layer therebetween, the hydrostatic layer essentially negating the friction between the engagement surfaces while the relative movement continues.
