Abstract
A torque limiter for a drive train includes a rotational axis extending in an axial direction, a drive side, an output side, a first friction surface on a one of the drive side or the output side, a second friction surface on the other of the drive side or the output side, and a friction lining. The friction lining has a first material with a first friction coefficient facing the first friction surface and a second material with a second friction coefficient, different from the first friction coefficient, facing the second friction surface. The friction lining is under a preload acting in the axial direction, torque-transmissively connects the output side to the drive side until a limit torque is reached, and is arranged to slip on the first friction surface when the limit torque is exceeded.
