Abstract
A predetermined breaking body of a shaft of a machine includes a first sub-body, a second sub-body, and a predetermined breaking element. The first and second sub-bodies are connected to one another, so as to conjointly rotate, along a longitudinal center axis of the predetermined breaking body via the predetermined breaking element. The predetermined breaking element is anisotropic, such that during transmission of a torque between the sub-bodies, the predetermined breaking element yields in a first torsion direction under a first predetermined ultimate torsional moment and yields in a second torsion direction opposed to the first torsion direction under a second predetermined ultimate torsional moment. The predetermined ultimate torsional moments differ in size.
