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.

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.
