TQ-01 · Recovery roller, mk. I
Designed and assembled in Helsinki

Torque.

A high-torque recovery roller that does not stall under pressure. Built around a motor, a mass, and a switch — nothing else.

Stall torque2.4N·m

Mass1.8kg
Principle

It does not need to struggle.

Most recovery devices are loud because their motors give way under pressure. The noise is the engine fighting to stay alive.

Torque is built for the opposite condition. The motor platform is oversized. The eccentric mass is enclosed. The housing is mounted on isolation pylons. Force in does not become noise out.

Body

One continuous surface.

No screws on the contact surface. No soft rubber that traps sweat. No removable covers. The wordmark is recessed, not printed. The power input lives on the cap — out of the way of the body.

A

Cleanable shell

Anodised aluminium, fine knurl. Wipes down with isopropyl. No fabric, no foam, no porous rubber.

B

Recessed wordmark

Laser-etched into the housing. No printed graphics, no stickers, no peel-away film.

C

Protected vent caps

The motor breathes through perforated end caps. The grille keeps fingers, towels and dust out.

D

24 V DC input

Locking barrel on the cap. The power module is external, never inside the body.

Control

One knob. One switch.

The control module is separate from the roller. A smooth potentiometer for amplitude, a hard mechanical on/off switch, one indicator LED. No app. No Bluetooth. No firmware updates.

Architecture

Eight parts. Held by fasteners.

Every component is isolated and serviceable. Nothing is glued. The inside is engineered the way the outside reads.

01
Shell

Anodised aluminium, knurled finish, recessed wordmark.

02
Mounts

Rubber pylons decouple the motor from the housing.

03
Platform

Oversized BLDC, sized for stall torque, not weight class.

04
Mass

Counterweight in a sealed cavity. Rumble without rattle.

05
Airflow

Cool air in one cap, warm out the other. Filtered, baffled.

06
Grille

Concentric mesh on each cap. Finger-, towel-, dust-proof.

07
Input

24 V DC, locking barrel. External brick, never internal.

08
Control

Knob and switch, separate from the body. Wired.

Specifications

Six commitments, enforced in hardware.

How Torque is built is how it sounds, how it cleans, how it is repaired. None of these are marketing claims.

01

Stable under load

The motor platform does not slow when pressure is applied. Stall torque is the spec we built around — not amplitude.

02

Quiet by design

Sealed cavity, isolated mounts, balanced eccentric. 42 dBA at full load, measured at one metre.

03

Deep low-frequency rumble

30 — 55 Hz. Tuned to reach below the surface, not to vibrate the skin.

04

Cleanable surface

One continuous shell, knurled aluminium. Wipe with isopropyl. No foam, no fabric.

05

Physical controls only

One knob, one switch, one LED. No screen, no app, no Bluetooth, no firmware updates.

06

Serviceable

Every component is held by fasteners, not glue. Service kits ship for ten years.
