Abstract: A downhole tool includes an outer, intermediate and inner tubular bodies. The intermediate tubular body has vanes and female splines. The inner tubular body in the intermediate tubular body includes a load nut and male splines that rotationally couple with the female splines to allow relative axial movement between the inner tubular body and the intermediate tubular body. The male and female splines can rotate inside the outer tubular body for an angle determined by movement of the vanes between longitudinal ribs in the outer tubular body. The inner tubular body has an extended position. When weight is applied on the drill bit (WOB), the inner tubular body has a retracted position where it is pushed inward to compress springs. This causes the inner tubular body and the intermediate tubular body to rotate for a selected angle relative to the outer tubular body.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for a clutch for a well string can include a tubular member, a mandrel, a top sub and a bottom sub. A sleeve can be located between the tubular member and the mandrel. The sleeve has an engaged position wherein an inner sleeve spline is coupled to the mandrel spline, and a disengaged position wherein the inner sleeve spline is uncoupled from the mandrel spline. The sleeve has an outer sleeve spline that is coupled to the tubular spline in the engaged position and the disengaged position. A spring in the tubular member can bias the sleeve from one position to another position. The sleeve can be configured to be moved between the positions to overcome the spring bias.
