TORQ Corporation is the leader in centrifugal
switch design for single-phase electric motors for more than
50 years. TORQ Corporation was originally incorporated
in 1950 as a manufacturer of electric motors. The founder developed
a unique switching mechanism for controlling the auxiliary
start-winding of single-phase electric motors. The quality
and performance of the TORQ Syncrosnap® Centrifugal
switch was recognized and sought after by other motor manufacturers.
These switches
were so superior to other alternatives that virtually all leading
motor manufacturers began buying switches from TORQ. TORQ’s
engineers became specialists in centrifugal switch design. Switch
design became the core competency and focus of TORQ Corporation.
Today
we continue to be the leader in switch design and performance. All
TORQ Syncrosnap® Centrifugal switches and TORQ Speedetex® Speed
Switches are manufactured in the USA.
