Abstract
A torque limiting coupling is arranged rotatably around a longitudinal axis. The torque coupling comprises at least one locking element that is displaceable between a locking position and an unlocking position and that is biased towards the locking position. The locking element is transferable into the locking position in the decoupling position of a switching disc, in which locking position the locking element is supported in a circumferential direction on a coupling hub and on the switching disc, and in which the switching disc is locked against rotation relative to the coupling hub. The at least one locking element is further transferable into the locking position when the switching disc is in its coupling position wherein, in the locking position, the locking element is supported in a circumferential direction on the coupling hub and the switching disc, and the switching disc is locked against rotation relative to the coupling hub.
