According to the invention, an assembly includes at least one piston assembly ( 4105 ), a rotating member ( 4130 ), and a transition arm ( 4110 ). The transition arm couples the piston assembly ( 4105 ) to the rotating member ( 4130 ). The assembly includes an overload protection mechanism ( 4135 ) coupled to the transition arm ( 4110 ) and configured to reduce piston stroke of the piston assembly ( 4105 ) upon application of an overload to the assembly while enabling the rotating member ( 4130 ), e.g., an input drive and/or a flywheel, to continue rotating. The overload protection mechanism ( 4135 ) is configured to reduce piston stroke of the piston assembly to zero stroke while enabling the rotating member ( 4130 ) to continue rotating at a substantially pre-overload speed. A method of protecting an assembly from an overload includes reducing piston stroke upon application of an overload to the assembly while enabling the rotating member ( 4130 ) to continue rotating at a substantially pre-overload speed.
