A controllable composite clutch device limited torque while in a released state includes a clutch capable of being controlled for performing engaging/releasing function and a limited torque device having relatively smaller torque installed between an input/output shaft and an output shaft, or radially installed between an input shaft and a cylindrical outputting rotation part, so that when the clutch is controlled to be in an engaged state, the rotary kinetic energy between the input shaft and the output shaft is transferred through the clutch, and so that when the clutch is controlled to be in a released state, the limited torque device performs limited torque coupling and the rotary kinetic energy between the input shaft and the output shaft can continue to be transferred, or a slip rotational speed differential is generated due to over-torque.
A controllable composite clutch device having limited torque while in a released state comprises a clutch (110 or 210) capable of being controlled for performing engaging/releasing function and a limited torque device (120 or 220) installed between an input shaft (101 or 201) and an output shaft (102) or cylindrical output part (202), so that when the clutch (110 or 210) is controlled to be in an engaged state, rotary kinetic energy between the input shaft (101 or 201) and the output shaft (102) or cylindrical output part (202) is transferred through the clutch (110 or 210) and when the clutch (110 or 210) is controlled to be in a released state, the limited torque device (120 or 220) performs limited torque coupling, wherein continued input of the rotary kinetic energy between the input shaft (101 or 201) and the output shaft (102) or cylindrical output part (202) or a slip rotational speed differential generated due to over-torque is carried out by smaller torque, a limited torque of the limited torque device (120 or 220) being smaller than an engaging torque of the clutch (110 or 210) wherein:
