An adjustable torque limiting device includes a shank unit (20) composed of first and second shanks (21,27) coaxially and rotatably connected to each other, a carrier unit mounted between the shanks (21,27) and having axially facing bearing regions (315) and radially facing detent regions (241) which cooperatively define cavities (A) for receiving detent bodies (32), respectively, so as to transmit a straining force emanating from the detent regions (241) to the detent bodies (32), a force transmitting member (33) movably mounted on the shank unit (20) and frictionally engaged with the detent bodies (32), an adjusting assembly (50) turnable to axially move the force-counteracting member (33), and a compressible biasing member (40) disposed between the force-counteracting member (33) and the adjusting assembly (50) to exert a preloaded force against the straining force. |
