Since the Dodge Torque-Arm revolutionized shaft mount reducer technology nearly 40 years ago, more than 2 million units have been sold, making the Dodge shaft mount reducer a leader within the industry. But what makes this Dodge gear reducer so special?
Twin Tapered Bushings
For starters, the Torque-Arm speed reducer utilizes twin tapered bushings to grip the driven shaft. This exclusive feature ensures a sturdy concentric grip, with none of the wobble or fretting corrosion found with single bushed reducers. As a result, the Dodge shaft mount reducer does not seize on the driven shaft. Not only did this innovation create a reliable, easy-to-install unit, but it changed the way shaft mount reducers are designed.
Painstaking Development Process
Since the development of the Torque-Arm reducer, Dodge has continued to improve on its groundbreaking design with the Torque-Arm II. Part of the brand’s success is owed to the manufacturer’s rigorous testing and development process, which begins with gathering customer feedback and drawing up specifications based on what customers liked or disliked about the older model. Prototypes are then designed and arduously tested using proprietary in-house software and lab equipment. Once the design of the Dodge gear reducer is finalized, each size and ratio undergoes the same stringent analysis and testing.
Thanks to Dodge’s rigid quality control program, the Torque-Arm shaft mount reducer boasts one of the lowest replacement rates in the industry.
