Abstract
An overload coupling having coaxially arranged coupling halves. At least one of the coupling halves is axially displaceable and is held by spring force in form-fitting engagement with the other, and the coupling halves have a face gear on their facing ends for effecting the form-fitting engagement. The flanks of the gear-tooth system that rest on one another during torque transmission generate an axial force component, which acts in the direction of disengagement, and a radial force component. The axially displaceable coupling half is embodied such that it is radially variable counter to a restoring force.
