Had this problem last year when we used two of them, direct-driven, to actuate our roller arm (after both failed as described, we switched to pneumatics). If you look at the spec sheet, it actually does specify that this is the standard failure mode if you exceed the maximum rated torque - I was surprised, too, until I looked it up.
