The failure or fracture of a product or component as a result of a single event is known as mechanical overload. It is a common failure mode, and may be contrasted with fatigue, creep, rupture, or stress relaxation. The terms are used in forensic engineering and structural engineering when analysing product failure. Failure may occur because either the product is weaker than expected owing to a stress concentration, or the applied load is greater than expected and exceeds the normal tensile strength, shear strength or compressive strength of the product.
Operating element with mechanical overload protection
An operating element (1) has an operating lever (2) which is mounted pivotably about at least one axis, wherein a frame (3) is provided at the free end of the operating lever (2) and the operating lever is guided such that its free end and the frame (3) lie in a housing (4), wherein the operating element (1) also has means (5) for limiting the deflection of the operating lever (2) for limiting the deflection of the operating lever to a first deflection angle (CH), wherein the frame (3) has at least one first stop (6) and the housing (4) or the means (5) for limiting the deflection of the operating lever (2) has a first counter stop (7) which corresponds to the at least one first stop (6), wherein the first stop (6) and the first counter stop (7) do not touch one another when the operating lever (2) is at the first deflection angle (CH) and touch one another when the operating lever (2) is deflected beyond the first deflection angle (CH) to a second, greater deflection angle (a2).
