Abstract
An orthopedic device with an end effector and a driving device, which is configured to drive the end effector by transferring a torque from the driving device to the end effector, wherein the orthopedic device features an overload protection that is configured to only prevent a transmission of a torque from the end effector to the driving device up to a threshold torque in at least one direction, and the overload protection includes at least a first coupling element and a second coupling element, which can be rotated relative to one another and which are coupled magnetically.

An orthopedic device comprising:
- an end effector;
- a driving device which is configured to drive the end effector by transmitting a torque from the driving device to the end effector;
- an overload protection that is configured to only prevent a transmission of a torque from the end effector to the driving device up to a threshold torque in at least one direction, the overload protection including at least one first coupling element and a second coupling element, which can be rotated relative to one another and which are coupled magnetically, wherein the second coupling element includes a plurality of magnets, and wherein the device has two first coupling elements, between which the second coupling element is arranged.
