Power Take-Offs (PTOs)
PTOs are essential for transmitting engine power in industrial applications. Twin Disc offers PTOs for all industrial engines, including the IBF line for high inertia applications, featuring multiple-plate, ventilated designs for effective cooling and stress management.

Special Power Take-Offs
Special PTOs, such as straddle bearing and limited-attendance PTOs, are available for specific applications and offer extended lubrication intervals.

Specifications
PTOs are designed for Duty Class II industrial applications with engines up to 1667 horsepower, featuring various clutch sizes and sealed pilot bearings to eliminate lubrication needs.

Selection Guide
Selecting the right PTO involves considering speed limits, side-load limits, and clutch torque limits. The process includes calculating net input power or torque and imposed side-loads.

PTO Sizing Example
An example is provided to illustrate selecting a suitable PTO model based on factors like horsepower, side-load, and speed.

General Information
Ensuring torsional compatibility is crucial to prevent damage and unwanted noise or vibration. The assembler of the drive and driven equipment is responsible for compatibility.

Duty Classification
The document outlines duty classes for PTO applications, such as Class I for disconnect applications and Class II for light-duty applications.

PTO SIZING EXAMPLE – Select the proper Twin Disc PTO for this application Several factors must be considered in the selection process in addition to duty service, such as: A disconnect PTO is required to drive a rotary screw compressor which is a Duty Class III application. The prime mover is a diesel engine rated for 200 hp @ 2,000 rpm. The engine has a SAE #2 flywheel housing and SAE 11.5" flywheel with a 72 mm pilot bearing bore. The sheave pitch diameter mounted to the PTO shaft will be 13" and “V” belts are used for power transmission. The centerline of the load imposed “X” dimension will...

CLASS I (Disconnect) 1. Pumps - centrifugal 2. Hydraulic pumps (without pre-charge) 3. Feeders - disc type 4. Agitators - pure liquids 5. Irrigation pumps Duty Class I: The clutch is used for disconnecting the power from the load. When engaging, so little work is done that the clutch shows no temperature increase at the pressure plate outer surface. Use maximum input torque from the Class I Table, disregard horsepower. The mechanism is operated one or more hours before disconnecting. Examples: Engagement of clutches with the driven equipment having WR2 less than that of the clutch and whose torque...
