Abstract
It is intended to provide a torque limiter obtainable at a low cost. The present torque limiter includes a first side plate, a friction plate, a pressure plate, and an urging member. The first side plate includes an annular portion and a cylindrical portion. The annular portion extends in a circumferential direction. The cylindrical portion extends from an outer peripheral end of the annular portion in an axial direction. The friction plate is disposed to be rotatable relative to the first side plate. The pressure plate holds the friction plate in cooperation with the first side plate, with the friction plate interposed therebetween. The urging member urges the pressure plate toward the first side plate in the axial direction.
