Abstract
A high-precision torque limiting mechanism capable of limiting an output torque to a magnitude of not more than a prescribed value, as well as to reduce a frictional torque produced upon occurrence of a slip. To accomplish this object, a ball ramp section () is attached to a slip clutch section () for reducing friction between friction plates () and () forming the slip clutch section () and limiting a torque to be transmitted by utilizing an axial thrust produced at the ball ramp section () in accordance with the magnitude of an input torque. The precision with which the torque to be transmitted is limited is enhanced by making improvements to the shape of an internal side surface of a recess (G) formed in each of cam elements () and () of the ball ramp section ().
