Abstract: A clutch for transmitting and limiting torque from a driving side, including a driving machine with a hub, to a driven side, and including a driven device. One pressure ring is located on the driving side, and a second pressure ring is located on the driven side. The pressure rings each include a lateral surface which face each other. At least one of the lateral surfaces has depressions formed therein. A locking spring element surrounds the hub and is in positive, detachable, active connection with the depressions. The active connection positively engages to transmit torque between the pressure rings and detaches to limit the torque transmitted between the pressure rings.
