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
