Abstract
A torque limiter includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a friction disc, a pressure plate, and a biasing member. The first side plate includes an attachment surface. The attachment surface faces in an axial direction so as to be attached to a flywheel. The second side plate has a smaller outer diameter than the outer diameter of the first side plate. The second side plate is disposed so as to not overlap the attachment surface as seen in an axial direction. The second side plate is attached to the first side plate.
