Abstract
A switchable claw coupling has two rotatably arranged coupling parts (2, 3). One of said coupling parts (3) is axially movable. To reduce the loads on the claws (20, 21) during the coupling operation, the coupling part 3 has a cam (22). The cam (22) at its end face is able to slide on a supporting face 28 of the other coupling part (2). A recess (23), in the supporting face (28), is engaged by the cam (22) to enable engagement within only a limited range.
