TB Wood's Incorporated

Founded in 1857, TB Wood’s, Inc. began as a foundry and machine shop, until the turn of the century when they entered into the power transmission industry. They began with the introduction of flat belted drives and line shafting, and then introduced V-belt drive systems in the 1930s. By 1945, TB Wood's introduced the quick detachable ("QD") Bushing system, which was followed by variable speed pulleys and synchronous timing belt drive systems in the early 1950s. In 1957, Wood’s developed and patented its Sure-Flex® couplings, capturing a significant segment of the elastomeric coupling market.
