Because you are using the Bevel Box you are probably using the VP 8mm/CIM output shaft. They are really not very good at taking high amounts of torque.

How are you alleviating this issue, installation of limit switches just before the hardstop could prevent damage, it is cheaper and probably easier to replace a limit switch than a VP output stage.
