Torque-limiting nut

A torque-limiting nut comprising,

• a threaded component, the threaded component comprising:
• a main body extending axially from a first end to a second end with an outer surface and having an internally threaded through channel,
• a flanged portion having a radially extending first side, a radially extending second side opposite the radially extending first side, and an axially extending side surface to connect the radially extending first side and radially extending the second side wherein the flanged portion extends in a radially outward direction from the main body at a first end, and
• at least one detent on at least one of the radially extending first side or the radially extending second side of the flanged portion;
• a tool interface having at least one flat surface configured to engage a tool and an internal channel sized to receive the main body, the tool interface comprising at least one recess corresponding to the at least one detent;
• at least one engagement member for each of the at least one detent wherein the at least one engagement member is configured to reside, in part, in the at least one detent and, in part, in the at least one recess;
• and
• at least one elastic member that provides a force on the at least one engagement member to seat the at least one engagement member in the at least one detent.
