About Torquety
Bridging the Gap in High-Performance Mechatronics
At Torquety, we believe that ambitious engineering projects shouldn’t be held back by supply chain bottlenecks. As a specialized B2B distributor of high-performance mechatronic components, we connect advanced hardware manufacturers with the engineers, designers, and developers who are building high-reliability systems in defense, aerospace, marine, space, scientific metrology, and industrial automation.
Zero-Delay Procurement
We maintain local UK inventory to eliminate customs delays and long transit times across the UK and Europe.
Seamless Integration
We provide world-class engineering support to help your team validate the technical fit of every component before you buy.
Premium Quality
We partner exclusively with industry-leading manufacturers to supply high-reliability hardware.
Accelerating Innovation by Eliminating Lead Times
In modern mechatronics, aerospace, and precision machinery, procuring high-specification motion control hardware often comes with prohibitive lead times, complex import duties, and minimal local technical support. This slows down prototyping cycles and delays production lines.
Torquety was founded to bridge this gap. We ensure that our clients have immediate access to critical mechatronic parts when they need them most, backed by expert-level technical validation from our London base.
Led by Industry Expertise: PhD Nicolás Giraudo
Torquety is led by Nicolás Giraudo, PhD, a veteran in industrial mechatronics commercial strategy.
With a distinguished track record of driving growth and technical commercialization at global innovators—including Alva Industries, Genesis Motion Solutions, Novanta, and PI (Physik Instrumente)—Dr. Giraudo brings deep technical insight to the procurement process.
Under his leadership, our team doesn’t just ship parts; we collaborate with your engineers to analyze specifications, ensure electromagnetic compatibility, and select the optimal technology for your specific application.
Our High-Performance Product Portfolio
We specialize in advanced motion feedback encoders and rotary transmission slip rings, engineered to meet the demands of aerospace, defense, marine, and industrial systems.
1. Motion Feedback Encoders
- Torquety Absolute Rotary Encoders: Utilizing advanced Giant Magneto Impedance (GMI®) technology to deliver up to 23-bit resolution. IP67 aluminum or steel housings for completely hysteresis-free operation.
- Inductive Rotary Encoders: Ultra-flat (<6mm) and lightweight (<14g) open PCB layout encoders based on patent-pending inductive technology with high electromagnetic immunity (EMI) for space-constrained robotic joints, aerospace gimbals, and optical systems.
- Torquety High-Accuracy Angle Encoders: Arcsecond-precision absolute angle encoders (up to 25-bit, ±3″ accuracy) featuring IP67-rated stainless steel housings built for demanding offshore, aerospace, and defense applications.
2. Rotary Transmission & Slip Rings
- Through-Bore Slip Rings: Hollow shaft designs (bore diameters from 3mm to 100mm) supporting up to 96 independent circuits and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) pass-through.
- Ruggedized Slip Rings: Heavy-duty, IP65-rated rotary joints with all-stainless-steel external components, rated for up to 15A/20A continuous current per circuit.
- Capsule Slip Rings: Compact gold-on-gold contact slip rings (diameters from 12.4mm to 25mm) with multi-wire brush technology for 5 to 10 times the operational service life.
- Open & Pancake Slip Rings: Frameless, low-profile, single-bearing designs optimized for OEM integration where axial space is strictly limited.
