What Is a Torque Tube?
Torque tubes are devices used in fields like mechanical and automotive engineering to transmit torque.
These tubes typically have a cylindrical structure with one or both ends fixed. When torque is applied to one end, the tube twists, transmitting the torque through stress in its material. Designed with a hollow structure, torque tubes minimize twist during torque transmission while being lightweight and rigid.
They are used in applications where rotational force needs to be transmitted without axial displacement, such as in automotive suspension systems and aircraft control systems.
