Twin Disc, Inc. has announced the launch of its Pilot Bearingless (PBL) Power Take-Off (PTO), engineered to redefine durability and efficiency in industrial and construction applications. This PTO solution eliminates the need for a traditional pilot bearing, reducing wear, maintenance and downtime while improving overall performance.
The PBL PTO seamlessly integrates into various systems, offering sizes ranging from 6.5 inches to 11.5 inches and featuring spherical main bearings and a ball-bearing throw-out collar. These features ensure robust performance under high-load conditions, making it suitable for both side load and inline applications. It is the solution with proven field performance in heavy-duty applications, meeting the rigorous demands of industries that require reliable power transmission.
Key benefits include:
- Increased durability — Eliminating the pilot bearing reduces radial load on engine bearings, significantly minimizing wear and tear and extending the PTO's lifespan.
- Lower maintenance – Without the need to replace a pilot bearing, operators experience lower maintenance demands, resulting in less downtime and greater productivity.
- Reduced component stress —The design is engineered to reduce the load on key components, resulting in smoother operation.
- Enhanced performance – Optimized for high-efficiency power transfer, the PBL PTO is built to excel in the most demanding applications.
The PBL PTO also offers optional sintered iron plates to enhance performance, adding to its durability and strength in extreme environments. The ease of engine installation further streamlines setup, allowing operators to save time and increase operational efficiency.
With decades of expertise in innovative power transmission solutions, Twin Disc continues to push the boundaries of reliability and performance by introducing the PBL PTO. This latest advancement underscores the Company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions for industries that rely on robust and efficient PTO systems.
