Cone brake load limiter apparatus and the corresponding assembling method

摘要

A load limiter (16) has a first disk (50) for translating a first torque from an input and a second disk (60) for translating a second torque from an output. Each of the first disk (50) and the second disk (60) has a ramp (45, 55) in which a torque transmitter (40), such as a ball (40) is disposed. A first conical brake surface (69) and a second conical brake surface (73) disposed on the first disk (50) or the second disk (60) interact if the first torque and/or the second torque cause relative rotation between the first disk (50) and the second disk (60).
