Abstract: The present invention relates to a drive and/or adjustment device for driving and/or adjusting a rotatable assembly, for example a large rolling bearing ring of a wind turbine or a slewing gear of a construction machine or of a hoist, comprising an output element for rotationally driving and/or adjusting the rotatable assembly, a transmission which is connected upstream of the output element and has at least one torque-transmitting gear, and an overload safety mechanism for the rotatable assembly. The overload safety mechanism is provided on the gear, which is divided and has two gear parts that are torque-transmittingly interconnected via spur toothing and held axially in spur toothing engagement by an axial securing means which yields at a predetermined axial loading between the gear parts.
