The invention relates to a torque controlled brake arranged between a drive shaft and a driven shaft, said brake comprising a brake disc/clutch disc arrangement containing a first disc and a second disc arranged between said shafts; a first set and a second set of friction surface means in co-operation with the brake disc/clutch disc arrangement; a spring arrangement providing a braking engagement by means of the disc arrangement and the friction surface means; and a first and a second cam part causing by the impact of torque and rotation of the drive shaft and the possible countertorque of the driven shaft the relative axial position between said discs and the friction surface means to change in order to detach at least partly the braking engagement against the force caused by the spring arrangement. What is essential in the invention is that the second disc is axially movingly arranged in relation to the second cam part, and that a third set of friction surface means is arranged between the second cam part and the first disc in order to move the torque from the drive shaft to the driven shaft.
