Each Torq Head motor features a high-resolution absolute encoder with over 1 million points of reference, combined with an internal index mark that ensures the system always knows its exact position — instantly and persistently.

Unlike traditional motors that require homing on startup or suffer from positional drift, the Torq Head’s encoders provide real-time spatial awareness without the need for recalibration or initialization routines.

• True Absolute Positioning: Each axis knows where it is at all times, even after a power cycle.
• Reliable Reference in Motion: Keeps positional integrity under heavy dynamic loads and disturbances.

This system is especially advantageous in environments where downtime, complexity, or recalibration are unacceptable — ensuring precise motion control from the moment power is applied.

Traditional brushless motors often struggle with slow current response, which limits their ability to respond quickly to dynamic stabilization commands. This delay can compromise smoothness and tracking performance — especially with unpredictable motion or large payloads.

Torq Head’s MAX motors are engineered for high-efficiency, high-response torque output. Thanks to ultra-low inductance and tight integration with our control algorithms, the motors deliver real-time torque corrections without delay.

• Immediate Motor Response: Commands are translated into motion with no perceptible lag.
• Efficient Power Use: Reduced overshoot and energy waste during correction cycles.
• High-Fidelity Control: Maintains precise behavior under changing loads or inertia profiles.

Whether you're stabilizing handheld footage or tracking high-speed motion, MAX motors allow the Torq Head to respond instantly and smoothly — without compromise.

Weighing just under 18 lbs, the Torq Head™ delivers an industry-leading strength-to-weight ratio, stabilizing payloads up to 65 lbs without compromise with the Saturn motor. Whether you're flying a Venice with cine zooms, supporting a lidar-and-thermal sensor stack on a drone, or outfitting a rugged broadcast build on a tracking vehicle, Torq absorbs the challenge with ease.

At the core of its capability is a modular motor system that lets you scale torque per axis. Need more holding power for a tall camera rig or a long lens? Just swap in a higher-output motor like the Nexus Motor where it's needed. No overbuilding. No wasted weight. Just pure, application-specific performance.

Key Advantages:

• Power-Dense Motors – Custom-designed, high-torque motors deliver maximum performance with minimal weight.
• Axis-Specific Configuration – Upgrade only the axes that need it; redesign the layout as needed and add efficiency across your build.
• Structural Efficiency – A precision-machined chassis resists flex under load, maintaining alignment across repeated moves.
• Specific Payload Builds – Stabilize complete cine packages with matte boxes, lidar, radar or gimbaled defense systems.
• 360° Freedom – Even at full payload capacity, the head maintains unrestricted rotation on all axes.

Whether mounted on a robot arm, tracking vehicle, or heavy-lift drone, Torq’s strength adapts to your payload—not the other way around.

The Torq Head™ was built for the real world—where speed, reliability, and serviceability matter. Its modular architecture allows operators to swap motors, inspect internals, and replace components in the field without the need to send the entire system back to the factory.

There are no belts, pulleys, gears, or internal wiring to fail. Instead, Torq uses our robust AXIO™ cable system for all signal and power routing—external, shielded, and fully field-replaceable. That means fewer moving parts, fewer failure points, and faster recovery when issues arise.

• Swappable Motors – Replace or upgrade only the axis you need—no full teardown required.
• No Internal Wiring – Eliminates risks of wire fatigue, pinch points, or rotational stress failures.
• Direct Drive System – No gears, pulleys, or belts to wear out, stretch, or jam.
• AXIO™ Cable System – Clean, shielded, and serviceable—built to handle harsh conditions without compromise.
• Service Without Shipping – Keep your system on set and operational with minimal downtime.

With Torq, you’re not just buying performance—you’re investing in longevity and independence.

Torq Head™ supports IP-based control for modern workflows—enabling clean integration with a wide range of third-party controllers and network-based systems.

Whether you're driving TORQ from established hardware panels or lightweight mobile devices, the platform is designed to remain open and adaptable. TORQ integrates with a growing ecosystem of third-party vendors such as Skaarhoj, Egripment, Ignite Digi, and others—making it easy to fit into broadcast, cinema, robotics, and unmanned applications.

Ethernet Injector
Our new Ethernet Injector adds a simple, rugged way to introduce network control anywhere in the chain—providing a practical bridge between TORQ and IP control devices without requiring custom wiring or internal modifications.

TAMBR Protocol
TORQ’s new TAMBR protocol is designed for rapid integration and is intentionally AI-friendly. It enables fast controller development and supports a broad range of input devices—from iPhones and PlayStation remotes to traditional HID devices commonly used in professional control environments.

• IP Control Ready – Integrate TORQ into networked workflows with modern control paradigms.
• 3rd-Party Ecosystem – Compatible with established vendors and expandable as new control options emerge.
• Ethernet Injector – Add network control cleanly and reliably without complex rewiring.
• TAMBR = Fast Integration – AI-friendly protocol design supports rapid custom controller development.
• Broad Device Support – From phones and game controllers to traditional HID inputs.

The result is a control layer that scales from traditional operator panels to modern networked and autonomous systems—without sacrificing stability or responsiveness.
