Profile: Torq Corporation designs and manufactures electro-mechanical and electronic speed responsive switches. Our switches are ideally suited for applications where detection of speed is essential for performance and protection. They are designed to activate an alarm system and/or initiate a control action to prevent downtime of machinery. Speed switches are used in bulk material handling systems to monitor speeds of conveyors and other types of rotating machinery. We specialize in speed switches and two-speed motor applications. Speed switches provide protection from speed related damage including broken belts, overloads or belt slippage.
