by Tom Leaver, Sales Manager and Allen Ruef, Senior Sales Engineer, Moog Flo-TorkMoog has grown rapidly both in size and breadth of technology options due to a smart and progressive acquisition strategy. We have found that not all of our customers are aware of these acquisitions and the new solutions that will make their machine performance better. This issue is focusing on a new member of the Moog organization named Moog Flo-Tork that offers an important technology for the industrial marketplace – rack and pinion actuators.
Flo-Tork has long been known for the portion of its business devoted to the naval market but its capabilities in the industrial market are now open to a wider audience due to its acquisition by Moog in 2005. The markets served include fluid power and valve actuation. As a manufacturer of rack & pinion actuators, Flo-Tork is a perfect complement to Moog’s servovalve, pump, manifold and controls product line. Torque range capabilities up to 5,650,000 Nm (50,000,000 lb-in) allow the ability to custom design actuation packages to meet motion control requirements for our customers in a multitude of industries.
