Torque Coils

What are Torque Coils?

Torque coils are made by coiling several strands of wire as thin as a hair and layering them in three layers.
This technology achieves excellent rotational synchronization with little irregularity despite the long length of the coils.

Rotational Synchronization movie

A coil inserted in a sheath is placed in a hoop shape and rotated by connecting one end to a motor. Even in the twisted hoop state, you can observe that the marks at both ends of the coil rotate synchronously.

Standard Processing Range

Structure Multilayered Winding (3 layor, 2 layor)
Inside Diameter 0.2mm-1.5mm
Outer Diameter 0.4mm-3.0mm
Element Wire Diameter Min. 0.02mm
Coil Length Max. 3,000mm

Processing Examples

Support for Round wires, Flat wires

  • Wire Diameter φ0.05
  • Wire Width w0.05

Brazing / Grinding

The coil ends can be finely brazed and machined, including processes such as grinding, on the end face of the coil.

  • Before Grinding
  • After Grinding

Rolling Process

In-house rolling from a round wire to a flat one is also available.
We can process a minimum thickness of 0.02mm and thickness : width = 1:5.

Engineering Application

  • Ultrasound endoscopic instruments (IVUS, OCT, high-frequency probes, etc.)
  • Endoscopic instruments (forceps, snare, high-frequency knife, etc.)
  • Catheters
