Abstract
The torque limiter includes a flywheel, a clutch plate, a spline hub, a clutch disc assembly and a transmission torque limiting part. The flywheel includes a friction coupling surface. The clutch plate includes plural axial through holes. Plural friction members are respectively attached to the through holes. The spline hub can be engaged with a transmission-side shaft. The clutch disc assembly circumferentially elastically couples the clutch plate and the spline hub. The transmission torque limiting part limits torque to be transmitted from the flywheel to the transmission-side shaft while the friction members are interposed and held between the transmission torque limiting part and the friction coupling surface of the flywheel.
