Mechanical PTO You Can Activate Remotely POWER TAKE OFFS PTO S You can retrofit a mechanically-activated pto with a new “remote over center” pto from Twin Disc that can be activated by either hydraulic or pneumatic pressure “It can eliminate the need to get off the tractor or out of a truck to engage a pto with a hand lever ” says Chuck Balboa Twin Disc Inc “It works with all types of equipment from wood chippers to fans sprayers or different types of pumps All you need is a source of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure ”
Twin Disc makes the remote-controlled units for equipment ranging from 50 to 600 hp Balboa expects the remote activation to find ready acceptance in construction manufacturing mining timber and oil and gas production as well as agriculture
“Anyplace you have a hand-activated clutch and hydraulic or air power sources you can use the RO 114/214 ” says Balboa “The power source is only needed to push the clutch over center and then it can be shut down Without a need for a constant flow of air or hydraulics the unit is much more efficient and cost effective than that of the competition ”
The company has been making pto systems for 100 years and offers a full line of power-shift transmission mechanical and hydraulic ptos gearboxes torque converters pump drives air clutches electronic shift controls and universal control drives
Existing Twin Disc SP 114/214 mechanical clutches can be field converted to the new RO using a kit from the company In addition to replacing mechanically-activated units in existing equipment Twin Disc is also working with several OEMs on factory installation
“Readers can call us or visit our website to find local distributors and dealers ” says Balboa “They can identify the size unit needed for a particular piece of equipment and pricing ”
