Ball detent torque limiter introducing

In a ball detent torque limiter design, there is some type of spring mechanism, or a spring disk, a curved spring disk, or a spring with a flat plate. A precision hole is also machined in that disk, or plate, and then you set a ball bearing in a pocket. That ball bearing sits in a pocket on one side, and then pushes against the disk on the other side; when the torque limiter’s set value is overcome, then that ball will slip out of that pocket, and then continue to slip, or fall back within that hole when the torque level has dropped enough for it to reset itself.
