Power Torq is excited to announce that we have added a related product to our offering to the market.  The Power Torq range of locking elements includes our 1014 series of stepped locking elements.  These stepped locking elements are specifically designed as the shaft locking devices in rigid flange couplings.

Power Torq now manufacturers these rigid flange couplings ourselves to offer the complete solution.

Rigid flange couplings are used to securely join two precisely aligned shafts for high-torque transmission, particularly in heavy machinery, marine propulsion, and vertical drives. They are ideal when zero backlash, high rigidity, and no misalignment exists, often used to connect motor or gearbox shafts to heavy-duty equipment like conveyors.

Common Applications:

• Conveyor Belts: Connecting gearbox shafts to drive pulleys.
• Heavy Duty Machinery: Marine propellers, large pumps, and high-speed turbine generators.
• Industrial Drives: Mixing and agitation equipment where vertical shaft alignment is critical.
• Precision Systems: Robotics and CNC machines requiring exact synchronization and minimal backlash
