Force Control Power Take-Off (PTO) Clutches

The Force Control Power Take-Off (PTO) Clutch mounts to a diesel or gasoline engine to drive pumps, chippers, mulchers, crushers and other systems. It features a short overall length, high capacity, an internal cooling system, an optional brake for slowing high-inertia loads, and drive pads for up to four hydraulic pumps.

Operation

The clutch is engaged by compressing a multiple-disc friction stack with air or hydraulic pressure; the pressure determines the torque transmitted. Transmission fluid flows through an open-centre hub, through the friction stack and out to the housing, then returns to the sump for recirculation. This Oil Shear Technology prevents wear on the friction surfaces, carries heat to the housing and lubricates all internal parts.
