Abstract
A torque limiter unit includes a first metal member and a second metal member (pressure plate, cover plate) pressed against the first metal member with a predetermined pressure, and is configured such that the first metal member and the second metal member are slid relative to each other against a frictional force generated between the first metal member and the second metal member. Further, the first metal member includes, as a sliding surface, a first coating layer including a 3d transition metal-containing compound, and the second metal member includes, as a sliding surface, a second coating layer including a 3d transition metal-containing compound.
