A torque limiter assembly includes a first rotational form mounted to a driving component of rotational dive system the first rotational form adapted to receive a second rotational form mounted to a driven component, the forms rotational over a shared hub, the second form adapted to engage to and be disengaged from the first form by a plurality or disconnect assemblies spaced equally around and mounted through a sidewall of the first rotational form, each disconnect assembly a spring assisted piston and a tensioner adapted to engage a detent in the second rotational form, the disconnect assemblies operable in unison to disengage from the second rotational form from the first rotational form upon detection of breach of a torque load threshold value set for each of the disconnect assemblies.

A power transmission device has a first pressure member (5a), a second pressure member (5b) and a back-torque transmitting cam. The first pressure member (5a) presses the drive-side clutch plates (6) and the driven-side clutch plates (7) against each other. The second pressure member (5b) releases a press-contact force between the drive-side clutch plates (6) and the driven-side clutch plates (7). The back-torque transmitting cam moves the second pressure member (5b) relative to the first pressure member (5a) to keep pressing the drive-side clutch plates (6) and the driven-side clutch plates (7) against each other when a rotational force is input to the clutch member (4), via the output shaft (3), in a process where the weight member (8) moves from the radially-outer position to the radially-inner position and the first pressure member (5a) moves to follow the interlocking member (9).

A power transmission device has a first clutch member 4a coupled to an output member 3. A second clutch member 4b has a plurality of driven-side clutch plates 7. A back-torque transmitting cam presses the drive-side clutch plates 6 and the driven-side clutch plates 7 against each other by moving the second clutch member 4b when a rotational force is input to the first clutch member 4a. A cushioning member 12 is interposed between the first clutch member 4a and the second clutch member 4b. The cushioning member 12, by being compressed, applies an urging force while allowing movements of an interlocking member 9 and a pressure member 5 in a process where the interlocking member 9 moves and the pressure member 5 moves from the inactive position toward the active position.
