An electrically controlled, progressive, frictional, torque transmitting device comprises a rotary element 1, 2, a proportion of the rotary power available from the rotary element 1, 2, being used, under the control of a direct electrical signal, to determine the degree of engagement of a frictional device 3, and hence the torque transmitted or absorbed by the torque transmitting device, thereby avoiding the requirement for an additional power source to activate the frictional device whole.
