Curious thick white gear with the slipping hub

Anyone know what this odd part is good for? One came with my RIS 1.5 system.
The hub slips both ways, so it isn't a one-way clutch, and it seems to slip at
low torques, so it apparently isn't a mechanical fuse.

Thanks!

(...) It is designed to protect the motors from stalling. It should act like a normal gear at low torque, and the inner portion should spin at high torques. The maximum torque is listed on the gear. alex (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
