A torque arm is a mechanical device designed to manage and counteract torque forces, typically in rotating machinery. It prevents unwanted rotation, stabilizes components, and enhances safety by absorbing reactive forces. Commonly used in motors, pumps, conveyors, and automotive systems, torque arms ensure efficient power transmission and prolong equipment life by reducing stress on shafts and bearings.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material | Carbon Steel ASTM A36 |
| Load Capacity | Up to 500 Nm torque |

To install the torque arm, first ensure the machinery is powered off and secure. Align the arm with the mounting points on both the stationary base and the rotating component. Use high-tensile bolts (included) to fasten it tightly. Check for proper clearance and avoid over-tightening, which may cause distortion. Regularly inspect for wear and lubrication needs.
What is the primary function of a torque arm?
The primary function is to prevent rotational movement in machinery by absorbing and counteracting torque forces, thereby protecting components from damage and ensuring operational stability.
How do I select the right torque arm for my application?
Consider factors such as the torque load, environmental conditions (e.g., moisture, temperature), available space for installation, and material compatibility. Refer to the product specifications table for load and size details, and consult with an engineer if necessary.
Can torque arms be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, our torque arms are designed to operate in temperatures from -40°C to 120°C, making them suitable for most industrial settings. For extreme temperatures beyond this range, special materials or coatings may be required.
What maintenance is required for a torque arm?
Regular visual inspections for cracks, corrosion, or loose fasteners are recommended. Lubricate moving parts if applicable, and replace the arm if any signs of significant wear or deformation are detected to maintain safety and performance.
Are torque arms customizable for specific machinery?
Yes, we offer customization options for length, material, and mounting configurations. Provide your specific requirements, and our team can design a torque arm tailored to your application needs.
How does a torque arm improve safety?
It reduces the risk of equipment failure by stabilizing components and preventing unexpected rotation, which can lead to accidents, injuries, or damage to machinery. This is especially critical in high-torque applications.
