Abstract
A torque-limiting device for secure transmission of a rotation between an inlet baseplate and an outlet baseplate, including at least one drive bolt that forms a breaking element by shearing in case of a torque exceeding a predetermined threshold, and an intermediate baseplate that is driven by the inlet baseplate and which in turn drives the outlet baseplate. The at least one bolt ensures driving of the intermediate baseplate and the inlet baseplate or the outlet baseplate. The intermediate baseplate includes at least one locking element by shape cooperation with a locking part of the bolt, and the torque-limiting device has a larger number of locking elements than of bolts. An agricultural machine can include such a torque-limiting device.
