Force Control Industries, Inc. is a family-owned company started in 1959 in New Castle, Indiana designing and manufacturing large oil shear products selling under the name of Positorq and PowrCon.
In the late 1960s the company, through new ownership and financial support, began on a journey designing and manufacturing new oil shear clutch and brake products and received patents on the Posidyne clutch brake. The development continues today with many improvements and upgrades, new products, and new industries.
