FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to clutches. The proposed clutch consists of two half-couplings. The first of the latter has straight holes arranged regularly along the circumference, the second one being furnished with pins supporting eccentric bushing with eccentricity equal to misalignment of the shafts of half-couplings. The said eccentric bushings are arranged to freely turn in holes of first half-coupling and on the pins. Each eccentric bushing is articulated with the first half-coupling shaft via tooth gear consisting of gear wheels. One of the latter is rigidly coupled with the said eccentric bushing, the other one if linked up with the first half-coupling shaft.
