A cone pulley pair for a cone pulley transmission comprises an input shaft which is connected rigidly to a fixed disc, a moving disc which is arranged fixedly in terms of rotation and axially displaceably on the shaft, an input component which can be driven by a drive motor, a torque sensing device having a first component which is in torque-transmitting engagement with the input component and has first shaped surfaces, and having a second component which is in torque-transmitting engagement with the moving disc and has second shaped surfaces, and rolling bodies which are arranged between the shaped surfaces, which shaped surfaces are configured in such a way that, as the torque which acts between the shaped surfaces increases, the shaped surfaces are moved away from one another counter to a force which pushes the shaped surfaces towards one another, with rolling of the rolling bodies which are arranged between them, the shaped surfaces being configured in such a way that, in the case of a low or absent force which pushes them towards one another, they are moved away from one another in such a way that the rolling bodies run over the shaped surfaces and the torque transmission between the first component and the second component is interrupted.
