Slip coupling, - wherein the slip coupling has a pair of coupling elements (1,3), - wherein the two coupling elements (1,3) are rotatable about a common axis of rotation and each have a coupling surface (5, 6) that is annularly circumferential about the axis of rotation, - wherein one of the two coupling elements (1,3) has a threaded journal which is disposed in line with the axis of rotation and to which a clamping nut is screwed by means of which the coupling surface of the other coupling element can be pressed against the coupling surface of the first coupling element so that a torque acting on one of the two coupling elements (1,3) is transmitted in a slip-free manner to the other coupling element (3,1) up to a holding torque and, beyond that, is limited to a sliding torque as the coupling elements (1,3) slip against one another, characterised in that - a number of free play disks (10,11) are disposed between the clamping nut and the other coupling element, - the clamping nut, the free play disks (10,11) and the other coupling element have interacting driver elements (12 to 16), - the driver elements (12 to 16) enable the coupling elements (1, 3) to slip against one another up to a critical angle without rotation of the clamping nut and, if the coupling elements (1, 3) slip against one another beyond the critical angle, force the clamping nut to co-rotate, - if the clamping nut rotates, the contact pressure of the coupling surface of the other coupling element on the coupling surface of the first coupling element and thereby the holding torque transmittable in a slip-free manner is changed. - wherein the slip coupling has a pair of coupling elements (1,3), - wherein the two coupling elements (1,3) are rotatable about a common axis of rotation and each have a coupling surface (5, 6) that is annularly circumferential about the axis of rotation, - wherein one of the two coupling elements (1,3) has a threaded journal which is disposed in line with the axis of rotation and to which a clamping nut is screwed by means of which the coupling surface of the other coupling element can be pressed against the coupling surface of the first coupling element so that a torque acting on one of the two coupling elements (1,3) is transmitted in a slip-free manner to the other coupling element (3,1) up to a holding torque and, beyond that, is limited to a sliding torque as the coupling elements (1,3) slip against one another, characterised in that - a number of free play disks (10,11) are disposed between the clamping nut and the other coupling element, - the clamping nut, the free play disks (10,11) and the other coupling element have interacting driver elements (12 to 16), - the driver elements (12 to 16) enable the coupling elements (1, 3) to slip against one another up to a critical angle without rotation of the clamping nut and, if the coupling elements (1, 3) slip against one another beyond the critical angle, force the clamping nut to co-rotate, - if the clamping nut rotates, the contact pressure of the coupling surface of the other coupling element on the coupling surface of the first coupling element and thereby the holding torque transmittable in a slip-free manner is changed. - a number of free play disks (10,11) are disposed between the clamping nut and the other coupling element, - the clamping nut, the free play disks (10,11) and the other coupling element have interacting driver elements (12 to 16), - the driver elements (12 to 16) enable the coupling elements (1, 3) to slip against one another up to a critical angle without rotation of the clamping nut and, if the coupling elements (1, 3) slip against one another beyond the critical angle, force the clamping nut to co-rotate, - if the clamping nut rotates, the contact pressure of the coupling surface of the other coupling element on the coupling surface of the first coupling element and thereby the holding torque transmittable in a slip-free manner is changed.
