Also known as: Torque Anchor
A downhole tool that transfers right-hand torque from a progressing cavity pump tubing string to the casing, helping prevent tubing back-off. Evolution designs use spring-loaded, wedge-shaped anchoring blocks and high bypass capacity for demanding well conditions.

Where are torque anchors especially useful?
They are especially useful in PCP, deep, horizontal, high-torque, and heavy-oil applications.
Why is bypass capacity important?
High bypass capacity leaves flow area around the tool for production fluids, sand evacuation, and certain intervention operations.
