Home
Infinitrak™ LLC is a Joint Venture company which has been established to develop, manufacture and commercialise full-toroidal traction drive transmission technology in the Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) and related markets.
Infinitrak™ combines the world leading expertise of its two founding parent companies, Torotrak Plc in the UK and MTD Holdings Inc of the USA. Torotrak is contributing its expertise and patented know-how in the field of full-toroidal traction drive transmission technology, whilst MTD bring world-class manufacturing skills alongside its leading position within the OPE marketplace.
Infinitrak™ commenced sales of its launch product for the OPE market - the Twin Toroidal Transmission (TTT) - in April 2008, with initial sales being made to MTD and to the company's first external customer.
The company unveiled its new epicyclic traction drive technology in February 2010, which uses metal spheres running in prescribed tracks and transferring torque through conventional traction fluid. This new technology offers lower noise, increased durability and fewer moving parts than conventional geared alternatives. Infinitrak™ epicyclic traction drive technology will be incorporated into the forthcoming Single Toroidal Transmission and other future Infinitrak™ products to support the company's objective of realising high volume sales to MTD and to a range of other customers in the OPE and related markets.
