I understand this to mean cuttable, but that 1) isn't a word, 2)sound terrible - any better suggestions. Here are two eamples, one with a life-line (I think) and another with a reel or spool. These are on boats, and used for ship to ship transfer of materials and liquids (called UNREP - underway replenishment, or VERTREP - vertical replenishment).
"En operaciones con conexión NATO, el terminal cizallable del andarivel lleva incorporado un gancho pelícano que se afirma al cáncamo con eslabón alargado NATO del buque receptor."
From a list of materials to have on hand:
"Martillo para usar en caso de emergencia (si es necesario romper el carrete cizallable)."
"La estación dispone de una sóla toma, (por este sistema solo se puede aprovisionar combustible) de DFM de 6” con carrete cizallable “NATO”"

Shearpin or Shearing Pin (but see note)
I suppose that, in the end, it is this, a pin (or a bolt), that is so calculated (usually by diminishing its section at the proper point), that when subject to the strain imposed by the actuator, it does not resist and breaks.
Of course, this is NOT what your context says ("romper el carrete cizallable"), but I believe they mean the axis pin of this (that it breaks the axis pin), rather than the "carrete" itself.
See the link below - I think that is what you are interested in

Comment: "This is definitely it. I found the exact system I am working on and references to shear pins with the different cables and break strengths, etc. Thanks"

5,230 hits is not exactly zero hits. But it's not very convincing either.

Note from asker:
| I tried this, zero google hits. The thing must have a name, probably something completely different. Thanks, I may use this if I can't find something better. |

: I believe this is the term, as in "Experimental investigation of the deformation of shearable elements", for instance.
