The invention relates to a torque limiting device, having a nut and a holding element, wherein the holding element has, in a rear region of the holding element, a top part having a driver profile forthe rotationally fixed coupling of the top part to a setting tool, the holding element has, in a front region of the holding element, a receiving part having a receptacle in which the nut is rotationally fixedly received, and the holding element has means for transmitting torque from the top part to the receiving part, which connect the top part and the receiving part, wherein the means for transmitting torque break at a limiting torque, cancelling the connection between top part and receiving part. According to the invention, the holding element has at least one holding claw, which is arranged on the receiving part and which secures the nut in the receptacle on the front side of the nut. The invention further relates to a fixing arrangement comprising an expansion anchor and such a torquelimiting device, and to a method for producing such a device.
