Abstract
An overload clutch has a driving and a driven coupling body (1.2), axially oriented teeth (2a) and radially oriented teeth (15a), torque-transmitting bodies (10) which mesh with the teeth (2a, 15a), a thrust collar (3) for holding the torque-transmitting bodies (10) emmeshed with the teeth (2a, 15a), a spring arrangement (11) for stressing the thrust collar (3) in the meshing direction of the torque-transmitting bodies (10), as well as an adjusting nut (5) for adjusting the spring arrangement (11). In order to avoid difficulties in handling and to increase operational safety, the adjustment path of the adjusting nut (5) is delimited towards and away from the spring arrangement (11) by stops (1b and 13) and the length of the adjusting nut (5) is adapted to the stops.
