Abstract
A load limiter has a first disk for translating a first torque from an input and a second disk for translating a second torque from an output. Each of the first disk and the second disk has a ramp in which a torque transmitter, such as a ball is disposed. A first conical brake surface and a second conical brake surface disposed on the first disk or the second disk interact if the first torque and/or the second torque cause relative rotation between the first disk and the second disk.
