Thump Racing in Fairfield, NJ produces high performance auto racing components including belt tensioners, idler pulleys, grooved pulleys, blower pulleys, Kenne Bell pulleys, and other specially designed parts for Mustangs, GT500s, Challengers, Cameros and other high performance cars.
Torque Transmission supplies Thump Racing with thrust bearings used in belt tensioners for racing cars like Ford Shelbys super charged from 300 HP to 800 HP that race on 1/4 mile tracks.
Peter Mitras, Owner and CEO or Thump Racing and High Precsion Machine says "the off the shelf Torque Transmission low profile thrust bearings are perfect for our application. The belt tensioners for race cars, typically1/4 mile dragsters, require a robust and tough thrust bearing."
The stock belt tensioners do not hold up to the pressure of the RPM and torque generated when these cars are super charged. Stock tensioners made from cast aluminum snap when raced.
We make our belt tensioners with billet aluminum so they never snap and the Torque Transmission thrust bearings match the quality of of our components and work so well we offer a lifetime guarantee for this product to our customers. Needless to say we are very happy working with the engineers and team at Torque Transmission".
At Torque Transmission we combine high-grade balls with the self-lubricating property of nylon to reduce friction, reduce noise and increase durability. Our molding process yields thrust bearings that are very resistant to wear and are able to withstand even the most harsh engine environment.
We manufacture high quality thrust bearings in a wide range of sizes - standard, metric and custom dimensions - to meet your specific application. Now available in 1/8" I.D. through 5" I.D.
Cost Saving Features:
