FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: friction clutch comprises bearing mounted on bushing having longitudinal slits and free end in the form of truncated cone whose larger base contacts with hub when bushing moves in clutch-releasing direction. Besides, there is a bushing-dismantling member in the form of conical surface disposed on input shaft with the base diameter larger than diameter of input shaft and the diameter of the smaller base of bushing truncated cone.
