Abstract
A coupling which is switched dependent on the rotational speed. One coupling half is held in fixed relationship with another coupling half up to a switching speed while being supported on switching elements. These elements are centrifugally controlled and spring loaded, and they are pivoted and coupled to one another by a switching ring for joint tilting. One coupling half is supported, furthermore, on the switching element by a ring which is elastic in axial direction.
Claims11
A coupling with switching dependent on rotational speed, comprising:
- switching elements, one coupling half held in fixed connection with another coupling half up to a switching speed by being supported on said switching elements, said switching elements being centrigually controlled and spring loaded, a switching ring, said switching elements being pivoted and coupled with one another by said switching ring for joint tilting.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
