Abstract

A torque limiter for a drive train includes a rotational axis, a first cover disc and a second cover disc, a central disc arranged axially between the cover discs, a first friction lining and a second friction lining, a radially outer connector and a radially inner connector, and a spring element. The first friction lining is for frictionally locking torque transmission between the first cover disc and the central disc, and the second friction lining is for frictionally locking torque transmission between the second cover disc and the central disc. The radially outer connector is permanently connected to the cover discs in a torque-transmitting manner, and the radially inner connector is permanently connected to the central disc in a torque-transmitting manner. The spring element is arranged between the central disc and the first friction lining or the second friction lining.
