A force-limiting and damping device has a body (10), a tapping element (20), an elastic element (30), and a locking element (40). The body (10) has a connecting segment (11) and a holding segment (12). The connecting segment (11) has a mounting hole (111). The tapping element (20) is connected to the body (10) to move relative to the connecting segment (11). The elastic element (30) is mounted between the tapping element (20) and the connecting segment (11). The locking element (40) is connected to the tapping element. The structural relationship between the connecting segment (11), the tapping element (20), the elastic element (30), and the locking element (40) may provide a delayed rebound and damping effect to the reaction force, and the applied force is continuously transferred to a tapping object to reduce noise and the loss of energy.
