Abstract
An electromagnetic clutch includes a rotor, an armature plate that is disposed to face the rotor, an excitation coil that is accommodated on the inside of the rotor, and generates an attracting force attracting the armature plate onto the rotor, a temperature fuse that is disposed on the excitation coil side further than a side end surface of the rotor, and blocks the electric connection to the excitation coil when exceeding a predetermined temperature, an outer and inner magnetic blocking portion on the side end surface of the rotor, and an intermediate magnetic blocking portion in the armature plate in a position between the outer and the inner magnetic blocking portions, in which an annular groove is formed on the side end surface to include the inner magnetic blocking portion, and in which a friction member protruding from the side end surface is disposed in the annular groove.
