Twin Disc Clutches and Power Take-Offs
Twin Disc Power Take-Offs are suitable for application to all internal combustion engines with standard SAE flywheel housing dimensions from No. 6 through No. 00. The PTO's contain clutches ranging in size from one plate 6 1/2" to one plate 14"; in two plate size from 11 1/2" to 18"; and three plate size from 14" to 21". Suitable power take-offs are available for use with engines in industrial installations up to 1667 Hp in Duty Class II applications.
A Power Take-Off
consists of a complete clutch assembly with shaft and bearings mounted in a cast iron housing that provides for easy engine installation.
PTO's are used as a standard method for transmitting the power of engines in a great variety of industrial applications such as;: air compressors, agricultural machinery, pump drives, crushers, road building machinery, cranes and shovels, oil field service, etc.
Twin Disc offers power take-offs for all industrial engines. The IBF line is designed especially for today's high-speed, high-horsepower industrial engines, and presently is offered in two and three clutch plate construction, this multiple plate, ventilated design assures ample cooling area to withstand heat, and with solid plates these PTO's can effectively handle the stress of higher engine speeds. The IBF units feature oil lubricated tapered roller bearings that extend lubrication intervals.
Available on most size PTO's are sealed pilot ball or roller bearings as optional equipment. These bearings eliminate the lubrication requirement and shaft rifle-drilling normally encountered with standard pilot bearings. Also available, as optional components, are ball bearing throw-out collars and finger springs.
