Companies developing and building lathes with a spindle speed of up to 5,600 rpm have the option of fitting a new, hydraulically actuated, rotary chuck cylinder that typically consumes 1.5 kilowatt-hours over a daily shift, compared with 36 kilowatt-hours for a conventional cylinder. The reduction is nearly 96 per cent and equates to a saving of more than 19 kg of carbon dioxide.

Practically infinite reliability was the defining requirement when researchers wanted to run a TorqSense transducer under the sea as part of extensive trials of a green energy turbine.
