A torque limiting device comprises rotationally mounted input and output shafts, an intermediate drive element rotationally coupled to the input shaft and a plurality of jammer elements mounted between the intermediate drive element and the output shaft. A spring mechanism is connected between the input shaft and the intermediate drive element for aligning the intermediate drive element and the input shaft in a driving configuration in which rotation of the input shaft at a torque below a predetermined threshold is transmitted to the output shaft via the jammer element, but in which torque above the predetermined threshold moves the input shaft rotationally relative to the intermediate drive element against the force of the spring mechanism so as to disengage that jammer elements from driving engagement with the output shaft.
