Internal gears are all plastic except for the worm. Hard to predict absolute limit since a lot depends on how well it is mounted and how tight the fit to the shaft and if it's a quick or slow force acting on it. These plastic gears will take quite a bit of abuse but something will crack or strip if lets say you have a long lever arm and smash into something.

We have a metal gear option but it was so heavy we decided not to offer it.
