ABSTRACT:
A torque limiting system for limiting the torque transferred between a rotating member and another member in which a disc is disposed within the rotating member and a shaft is coupled to the disc for receiving a load. At least one bearing member is disposed in the disc and is urged in a radial direction into engagement with the rotating member to normally couple the rotating member to the shaft to drive the shaft. The bearing member responds to loads on the shaft exceeding a predetermined value for releasing the engagement with the rotating member and decoupling the rotating member from the shaft.
