All Torque Transmissions stocks replacement friction cups for Charles & Hunting variators.
Simple, practical and robust, Charles & Hunting variators are in use throughout many areas of Australian industry, the majority of which still performing faultlessly.
In mechanical variator design, the variation of speed is effected by moving a driving disc across the face of the friction cup, which gives stepless variable speed. As a result, the friction cup becomes the wear part; designed to be replaced after it has worn out (usually between 5,000 and 10,000 hours).
Friction cup drive surfaces run completely dry and have a relatively long life expectancy depending on the application. As an expendable item – similar to the tyres of a motor vehicle – the friction cup is inexpensive to replace.
There are four sizes of friction cups in the range:
– Size 1: 3″ diameter
– Size 2: 4-1/2″ diameter
– Size 3: 5-1/2″ diameter
– Size 4: 7″ diameter
Stocks are held in both Braeside and Preston.
Charles & Hunting friction cups are made in Australia.
Well, the water crisis that Australia has experienced off and on for decades is starting to make it’s way to the US and Latin America.
WEG has researched electric motor and drive efficiency and developed a specialised answer for cooling tower applications.
For everybody’s enjoyment, they’ve also come up with the below video (complete with organ demo music that your grandfather used to play).
Don’t forget, WEG has already proven it’s efficiency credentials in Australia with the W22 series (WEG 22 Ways).
The food, beverage and pharmaceuticals industries demand power transmission equipment that is reliable in even the most extreme operating environment. Luckily, All Torque Transmissions’ supply partner Dodge manufactures a worm gearbox that can handle the most severe punishment.
The Dodge Tigear 2 E-Z Kleen worm gearbox features. as standard:
Washdown options for the range include:
Stocks are available on relatively short lead times direct from the factory in the US.

Every couple of years a representative of All Torque Transmissions braves the airline food and risks deep vein thrombosis to attend the world’s largest industrial trade fair, Hannover Messe, in Germany.
Piero (Teleco Freni Motor Brakes) and Vincenzo (Telcomec Clutches) meet All Torque’s Craig Mighell
2015 is no different, with Director Craig Mighell making the sojourn to the northern hemisphere.
“Integrated Industry – join the network!” is the key theme of the entire Hanover Fair. This theme refers to both machine-to-machine communication (as part of Industry 4.0 – first unveiled at Hannover in 2011) as well as the personal relationships that are forged through face to face contact.
Industry 4.0 has been one main focal point of Hannover for 2015, as part of the theoretical transition to the fourth industrial revolution.
Design principles of the concept are:
Very soon, current industry buzz-words such as ‘The Internet of Things, The Internet of Services and Cyber-physical Systems’ will become standard vernacular, provided the appetite for change spreads.
At All Torque we pride ourselves on the longevity of our business relationships, which extends to both customers and suppliers. Hannover gives us a chance to continue strengthening our partnerships with some of the world’s most respected power transmission companies.
Bonfiglioli’s Marco Bonivento (Regional Sales Manager Distribution) and Carlo Rondelli (Group Sales Manager Bologna Head Office) flank All Torque’s Craig Mighell
With the release of the new C A F S sales catalogue from Bonfiglioli, comes the all-encompassing C A F S installation manual.
Where the sales catalogue provides information regarding product design and capability, the installation manual is designed to provide information regarding the safe transportation, handling, installation, maintenance, repair, disassembly and disposal of gear units.
As with nearly everything else in the ‘digital age’, this manual is primarily available online. If a hardcopy is required, make sure you have ink in the printer and at least 106 pages of recycled A4 in the tray.
