What You Need To Know About Hydraulic PTOs

In addition to the traditional Dry Clutch/Mechanical Power Take Off, Twin Disc offers a Hydraulic Power Take Off. Which is a recent addition to their industrial product lines.
Available Units:
- Side-load straddle bearing clutched models
- In-line clutched models
- Non-clutched models.

Applications for hydraulic clutches are similar to those for the mechanical PTOs. Hydraulic
clutches can be used wherever a disconnect is required between the driven equipment and
the prime mover.
When you need a disconnect between the driven equipment and the prime mover, choose self-adjusting hydraulic PTOs. They support maximum side loads for increased efficiency and decreased vibration, yet take up little space thanks to a compact design. Other features include:

- Configurable auxiliary pump drives
- Engine interface via J1939
- Optional graphical user interface (GUI)
- Smart electronic controls for smooth, reliable engagement and equipment protection

Typical applications include:
- Waterjets
- Compressors
- Propellers
- Conveyors
- Generators
- Rock Crushers
- Hydraulic Pumps
- Mud Pumps
- Agitators
