  • Device for mechanical overload protection and production process for same
    Patent number: 12728492
    Abstract: A device for mechanical overload protection in a drive train of a machine tool, the drive train having an output side with an output shaft and an input side with a motor shaft. The output shaft is operatively connected to the motor shaft by way of a connector, the device for mechanical overload protection being formed by a press-fit connection between the connector-on the one side and the motor shaft or the output shaft on the other side. A method for producing such a device for mechanical overload protection in a machine tool is also provided. The peak torques in the drive train, which preferably occur for a short time, can be significantly reduced and the machine tool and its mechanical components can be protected from damage in the event of a blockage.
