 BETTER STABILITY & CONTROL

MILITARY-GRADE TORQUE RODS

CIGNYS manufactures torque rods for military ground vehicles, built to perform in extreme conditions and to deliver dependable handling across rough terrain. From new builds to legacy replacements, our team supports build-to-print, reverse engineering, and custom plans to meet your exact specifications.

  • Defense-Ready Quality: AS9100D, ISO 9001, and ITAR compliance for controlled programs and traceability.

  • Manufactured Longevity: Robust tube/forging constructions with polyurethane or rubber bushings for the right balance of stiffness and isolation.

  • Fit and Function Assurance: Reverse-engineered interchangeability, FAI, and acceptance test plans available.

  • Corrosion and Finish Options: CARC-capable painting and other protective coatings for harsh environments.

  • Flexible Production: Prototypes to production runs, fast quotes, dependable lead times.

Torque Rods

Axle Management for Predictable Braking

High torque can twist the axle housing and upset traction. Our torque rods counter axle wrap so tires stay planted, braking stays straight, and wheel hop is minimized, especially on steep grades, heavy loads, and rough terrain.

The result is steadier handling and less stress on springs, brackets, and mounts.
Torque Rods Maintain Axel Alignment

Straight-Line Stability for Better Control

Consistent axle-to-chassis alignment preserves thrust angle and pinion orientation through load changes. Vehicles track straighter, steering feel stays consistent, and tires wear evenly over longer service cycles, reducing the need for corrective alignments and downtime.
Torque Rods Absorb & Distribute Forces

Load Channeling for Component Protection

Driving, braking, cornering, and body roll create dynamic loads. Our torque rods channel these forces into the frame along controlled paths while bushings work in shear/compression to isolate harshness.

This protects adjacent components, weldments, brackets, and fasteners from fatigue and extends system life.
Torque Rods Tab Optimize Driveline Angles

Controlled Angles for Smoother Drive

By limiting axle motion, driveline geometry stays within spec. Stable U-joint working angles cut vibration, protect seals and bearings, and reduce premature wear, delivering smoother power and fewer driveline-related service events.
Torque Rods Tab Withstand Harsh Environments

Mission-Ready Durability for Any Climate

High-strength materials, precision welds, and durable bushings (polyurethane or rubber) deliver reliable performance on rugged military terrain. CARC-capable finishes and corrosion protection resist sand, salt, and corrosive chemicals.
 TRUSTED INDUSTRY EXPERT

FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION

CIGNYS supports the integration of our torque rods into a wide range of heavy-duty platforms, from tactical trucks to specialty off-road vehicles. Each has its own constraints, and our team helps align the torque rod build to individual needs.

  • Support Legacy and Mixed Fleets: Replace obsolete or unsupported torque rods by working from prints, samples, or field measurements.
  • Launch and Mature New Platforms: From initial concept into stable production, with repeatable performance over time.
  • Manage Harsh-Duty Environments: Specify constructions, bushings, and finishes that stand up against demanding conditions.
  • Maintain Traceability and Confidence: Align torque rod supply with your quality and reporting expectations.
