Theatrical Rigging

Installation of Mounted Components

Application: Theatrical Rigging

We have all attended functions of the performing arts: concerts, plays, or other events. Much of the stage, lighting and other props are moved with theatrical rigging. This is a make-up of many cables, winches and drums. A traditional keyed mount was the means of connecting the drums to the shaft.

Rigging

Reasons for using Trantorque GT:

  • Forget the key — no more worn keys, backlash or wallowed keyways
  • Mechanical shrink fit — no more fretting and corroding to shaft
  • Single locking nut — no more setscrews to work loose
  • Perpendicular mounting — no more misalignment from welded stub shafts
