Abstract
A transmitting torque limiting apparatus, used in a power transmitting apparatus, includes side gears () and side gears piece () one of which are axially shiftable. The side gears () and the side gear pieces () respectively have first engaging teeth () and second engaging teeth () each being provided with a pressure angle (Alpha). Due to such pressure angle, when an excessive torque is inputted into the power transmitting apparatus, a thrust force (F) is generated for disengaging the engagement between the first engaging teeth () and second engaging teeth (). Thus, inputting of the excessive torque into the power transmitting apparatus can be limited.
