Carlyle Johnson announces the award of our latest patent for our new MAXITORQ^® Torq-lok bi-directional, reverse-locking mechanical brake.

This unique device is designed for use in “no-back” applications to prevent back-driving and over-running, but unlike previous designs, ours is capable of withstanding torque overload and torsional shock load conditions. For use in dry or oil conditions, the Torq-lok^® also gives your load ratchet-free movement, and is self-locking.

The heart of the new Torq-lok is it’s novel cammed locking ball ramp type, that not only gives it strength, but also allows us to set a firm slip point tailored to your specification.
