<p>The invention relates to 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 pump means 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, this layer essentially negating the friction between the engagement surfaces while the relative movement continues.</p> |
