A force limiting weld head (11) which includes a supporting structure (13), a pressure barrel (15) and an output member (17) mounted for movement on the supporting structure, a fixed electrode (19) mounted on the supporting structure, a movable electrode (21) driven by the output member, a coupling (23) for drivingly coupling the pressure barrel and the output member. The coupling includes a variable-volume chamber (89) and a piston (77) responsive to overtravel for varying the volume of the chamber.
