I found this switchable coupling in Rollof/Matek machine elements, i have never seen this kind of coupling before.

According to the dutch edition its name is:

Tweevlakskoppeling

Which literally means Two-surface coupling

After some research on the web i couldn't find any reliable information, i thought the translation is wrong, then I checked the original edition in german, apparently, the name is correct. The original edition:

Can someone identify this coupling?

    Okay, you have a mechanical fingerplate clutch with a fussy throwout bearing. Why the fussy bearing? It would let you have zero hold-in force against the bearing. I tried for an hour to find one like it and couldn't. – Phil Sweet Jun 18 '19 at 22:34
  • @PhilSweet I really appreciate your effort, i guess this is just a concept, and there is yet no commercial prototype exist. –  Jun 19 '19 at 08:47

    Either that or they quit making them 50 years ago. I can see one of these being connected to a great big hand lever on an old sawmill drive. – Phil Sweet Jun 19 '19 at 09:29

Look for overrunning clutch or power transmission elements.
