Abstract:
A rotation transmitter, comprising:a pulley including a cylindrical wall; anda hub rotating by receiving rotation force from said pulley, said hub including a torque limiting mechanism to interrupt rotation transmission from said pulley to said hub when a torque difference between said pulley and said hub exceeds a threshold, whereinsaid torque limiting mechanism is disposed within an axial dimension of said cylindrical wall;said torque limiting mechanism includes a break portion to be broken to interrupt the rotation transmission from said pulley to said hub when the torque difference between said pulley and said hub exceeds said threshold;said break portion is provided at a particular position where stress caused by torque transmission to said hub mainly acts;said rotation transmitter is used for a rotary machine;said rotation transmitter further includes a connection portion connecting to a rotating shaft of said rotary machine; andsaid connection portion is provided radially inwardly from said particular position.
