Abstract

Torque limiting coupling (20,20a) comprising a first shaft (1), a shear plate (9) fixedly connected with the first shaft (1) and a coupling ring (3,3a) arranged coaxially to the first shaft (1), where the coupling ring (3,3a) comprises a lateral surface which is in contact with a lateral surface of the first shaft (1), where the coupling ring (3,3a) has a double-walled section (3a,4) with an internal annular pressure fluid chamber (6), designed in such a way, that this section increases its radial thickness when the fluid chamber (6) is filled with pressurized fluid and thereby increases the pressure forces and the friction forces between the lateral surfaces of the coupling ring (3,3a) and the first shaft (1) in order to allow torque transfer, and that the coupling ring (3,3a) transfers no torque, when the fluid chamber (6) is not filled with pressurized fluid, and where the coupling ring (3,3a) comprises a shear tube (8) closing the pressurized fluid chamber (6) to hold the pressure, whereby the shear plate (9) is designed to cut off a tip of the shear tube (8) in order to open the pressure fluid chamber if the first shaft (1) is slipping relatively to the coupling ring (3,3a) which is the case, when the torque is higher than a predefined maximum transferable torque given by the fluid pressure and the design of the coupling, and whereby the first shaft (1) comprises a conical connector (1.1) and that the shear plate (9) is fixed by one central bolt (11) to the first shaft (1), by pressing a conical bushing (10), which is connected to or part of the shear plate (9), against the conical connector (1.1).
