Zusammenfassung:	Exemplary embodiments of apparatuses and methods of a torque limiting device are provided. In one embodiment, a driving device comprises a torque limiting clutch including a lower ratchet, the lower ratchet including a plurality of ramps, an upper ratchet, and an upper ratchet including a plurality of bearings. The driving device further comprises a compression spring, wherein the compression spring is configured to exert a force on the upper ratchet so that the plurality of bearings interface with the plurality of ramps, wherein the plurality of bearings ride on the plurality of ramps when a torque is created by a rotation of the driving device thereby limiting an amount of torque.
