Abstract:
Disposable torque-limiting mechanisms with an upper shank component with a torque-limiting interface, a lower shank component with a torque-limiting interface, and a rubbery spring material biasing element. Torque-limiting interfaces having a plurality of undulations arranged around an axial bore or drive socket and separated by a plurality of transition regions, with each undulation having an upslope, a peak, and a downslope. The torque-limiting interfaces are configured to engage and disengage to provide torque transmission with predetermined torque limits at various rotational speeds and for amounts of actuations while remaining within a specified operational range.

Claim (Index 2):
The device of  claim 1  wherein:\n the RSM configured to apply compressive force (F) along the axis to compress the first torque-limiting interface against the second torque-limiting interface; \n the upper shank component and the lower shank component are configured to engage to rotate together when torque is applied to the lower shank component via the drive socket; and, \n the upper shank component and the lower shank component are configured to disengage when a predetermined torque limit is exceeded.
