A protective clutch wherein a switching ring having an inner bore in the shape of a frustum is axially actuated to control a radially extending actuating pin which operates to place a control ring into and out of rotative engagement with one of a driven and driving member of the clutch. The control ring contains recesses within which torque transmitting balls of the clutch may move when the control ring is in angular alignment therewith to disengage the clutch with angular unalignment of the control ring operating to bring the torque transmitting balls back into torque transmitting position.
