Abstract
An automatically engageable jaw clutch having a toothed drive hub, a toothed power take-off hub, and a clutch star which is axially displaceable in relation to the power take-off hub. The power take-off hub is mounted to be rotatable and inclinable with radial play at a bearing body rigidly connected with the drive hub. This radial play is smaller than the radial play between a screw socket, operatively connected with the power take-off hub, and the clutch star. The clutch star has a first tooth system and a second tooth system. The clutch star, in axial spacing from its first tooth system, has a guide surface which is essentially concentric with respect to its axis of rotation. In the disengaged condition of the jaw clutch this guide surface is centered at a corresponding guide surface of one of both hubs, yet in the engaged condition of the jaw clutch such guide surface is spaced from the aforementioned corresponding guide surface.
