Turnbuckle Type Torque Arm

Position the torque arm so it will be in tension during unit operation and mount the
fulcrum mounting bracket to suitable structure or foundation. Consider installing
two torque arms for reversing applications to allow torque arm to be in tension for
each direction of rotation.
Mounting hardware for fulcrum mounting bracket are NOT supplied by Sumitomo.
4
Position the torque arm as close as possible to 90° relative to the unit output bore /
driven equipment shaft.
Sumitomo does not recommend combining torque arm assemblies to achieve a
greater overall length.
