Name for a mechanism
A sort of slip clutch in a gear train that transmits torque until ther
is a jam. Then at a preset back-torque a "ratchet" mechanism engages making a clicking noise as the drive side turns relatively freely to protect a motor etc and alerts a user to a problem. |

That's how a torque wrench works, but I don't know the name of the mechanism. |

In my imagination, I see a differential, with one output driving the load, and the other driving a bell, but secured with a brake. Or, a shaft coupling with a shear pin, which makes a fuss when it breaks. Maybe a shear pin with a stinky mercaptan center? |

"Ball detent overload release" is one name for this type of clutch. Eric |

Depending on how much torque you are talking about the ICE bubble hockey arcade games use a nylon slip clutch in their player gearboxes. This releases if the men are jammed and makes a ratcheting sound. They do wear out, but last years and they sell for around $15 for the entire gearbox. https://www.icegame.com/category/22/super-chexx#parts number SC3012X John :-#)# -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd.

Over-running clutch? No, an overrunning clutch allows it to slip in one direction and grab in the other. That is a different mechanism used for a different purpose. Jon Like a bicycle freewheel. |

We used to use this type of clutch in linear actuators in some of our machines, I think we may have called them torque clutches or ratcheting clutches.. The ratcheting noise proved unacceptable to customers. We developed circuitry to detect the stall current of the motor and controlled the actuator travel that way, rather than thru brute force timing.
