An overload coupling for coupling a driving device to a driven device, comprising: an inner connecting element and an outer connecting element that are concentrically arranged and rotate in normal operation around a common rotation axis in a first direction of rotation, wherein the inner connecting element is coupled to the driving device and the outer connecting element is coupled to the driven device; and at least a first and a second arm (230, 240) that connect the inner connecting element with the outer connecting element, wherein the first arm is attached to the inner connecting element at a first attachment point and to the outer connecting element at a second attachment point, wherein the second attachment point is angularly displaced relative to the first attachment point by a first angle such that the first attachment point is ahead of the second attachment point in the first direction of rotation, wherein the second arm is attached to the inner connecting element at a third attachment point and to the outer connecting element at a fourth attachment point, wherein the fourth attachment point is angularly displaced by a second angle relative to the third attachment point such that the third attachment point is ahead of the fourth attachment point in the first direction of rotation, wherein the first and second angles (235, 245) have first and second initial values, respectively, when no force is acting on the first and second arms (230, 240), wherein the first and second initial values are smaller than 175 degrees, and wherein each one of the at least first and second arms (230, 240) comprises: an arrangement of at least one plate, wherein the at least one plate is loaded in tension when a first torque acts on the inner connecting element in the first direction of rotation or on the outer connecting element in a second direction of rotation that is opposite the first direction of rotation, and wherein the at least one plate is loaded with a compression force when a second torque acts on the inner connecting element in the second direction of rotation or on the outer connecting element in the first direction of rotation, wherein the first and second arms (230, 240) are formed with predefined geometries to enable buckling of the first and second arms (230, 240) when the second torque exceeds a predetermined threshold, and wherein the second torque causes the first and second angles (235, 245) to decrease below the respective first and second initial values, wherein the arrangement of the at least one plate comprises a staggered arrangement of at least two separate plates. an inner connecting element and an outer connecting element that are concentrically arranged and rotate in normal operation around a common rotation axis in a first direction of rotation, wherein the inner connecting element is coupled to the driving device and the outer connecting element is coupled to the driven device; and at least a first and a second arm (230, 240) that connect the inner connecting element with the outer connecting element, wherein the first arm is attached to the inner connecting element at a first attachment point and to the outer connecting element at a second attachment point, wherein the second attachment point is angularly displaced relative to the first attachment point by a first angle such that the first attachment point is ahead of the second attachment point in the first direction of rotation, wherein the second arm is attached to the inner connecting element at a third attachment point and to the outer connecting element at a fourth attachment point, wherein the fourth attachment point is angularly displaced by a second angle relative to the third attachment point such that the third attachment point is ahead of the fourth attachment point in the first direction of rotation, wherein the first and second angles (235, 245) have first and second initial values, respectively, when no force is acting on the first and second arms (230, 240), wherein the first and second initial values are smaller than 175 degrees, and wherein each one of the at least first and second arms (230, 240) comprises: an arrangement of at least one plate, wherein the at least one plate is loaded in tension when a first torque acts on the inner connecting element in the first direction of rotation or on the outer connecting element in a second direction of rotation that is opposite the first direction of rotation, and wherein the at least one plate is loaded with a compression force when a second torque acts on the inner connecting element in the second direction of rotation or on the outer connecting element in the first direction of rotation, wherein the first and second arms (230, 240) are formed with predefined geometries to enable buckling of the first and second arms (230, 240) when the second torque exceeds a predetermined threshold, and wherein the second torque causes the first and second angles (235, 245) to decrease below the respective first and second initial values, wherein the arrangement of the at least one plate comprises a staggered arrangement of at least two separate plates.
