Abstract
A torque limiting device includes a first portion connected to a first rotatable component. The first portion has a flange extending radially outward therefrom. A second portion includes a plurality of pre-loaded axial springs and is coupled to a second rotatable component. The second portion is arranged adjacent opposing surfaces of the flange. The second portion is configured to apply a biasing force to the flange to selectively couple the first rotatable component and the second rotatable component.
