Abstract
A torque limiting coupling rotatably arranged around a longitudinal axis A has a coupling hub (), drivers (), a coupling sleeve () and a switching disk (). The switching disk () is rotatably arranged between a switched-on position and an idling position relative to the coupling hub (). The drivers () engage the coupling sleeve first recesses () in the switched-on position. The drivers () engage the switching disk second recesses () in the idling position. A first spring mechanism () urges the switching disk () in the direction towards the switched-on position. A second spring mechanism () acts axially on the switching disk () and urges the drivers () against the coupling sleeve ().
