Slip clutch shaft PTO (power take off) shaft component used to connect the tractor or any other power source to an instrument or attachment. The slip clutch feature permits that the PTO shaft to slide or break off if the device or attachment is confronted with an obstacle or overload, which prevents injury or damage to the machinery or the user. This is accomplished through using a mechanism that lets off the driving force whenever an amount of resistance or torque is encountered. It then re-engages the drive after the obstruction or overload is cleared. Slip PTO shafts for clutches are widely employed in industrial and agricultural machines. #Slip Clutch PTO Shaft Parts The most important components of the slip clutch PTO shaft comprise: PTO Input shaft â?? The part which connects the source of power, for example an engine or tractor. PTO Output shaft - This is the shaft that connects to the attachment or the implement such as a lawnmower or tiller. PTO Shaft Center Housing - The housing that houses the slip mechanism, which allows the output and input shafts to rotate in a synchronized manner. PTO Shaft Slip Clutch Assembly The component that offers the slip feature. It is made up of pressure plates, friction discs springs, and various other components. PTO Shaft Safety Shield - The protective housing that protects the rotating components on the PTO shaft. PTO shaft. PTO Shaft Locking Collar - The component that secures the shaft's output to the PTO stub and allows it transfer energy. PTO Shaft Grease fitting The part that allows the lubrication of bearings as well as other moving parts. PTO Shaft Yoke - A part that connects the shaft that produces the output onto the working implement. Safety stickers and warnings Labels with warnings and instructions inform the operator of dangers that can arise from operating PTO shaft machines and the best way to use it in a safe manner. #Disc Mower PTO Shaft Specifications The original equipment is a 55N Weasler, 80 angles on either side of the tractor, and 50-degree CD on the discipline. Input shafts are typically 1.50" in diameter. The PTO shaft comes with a slip clutch and is made from durable steel and comes with 3/8" 6-spline at the ends of the implement and tractor. It is equipped with an automatic slip clutch to ensure the safety of equipment, or it can be used as a tractor PTO shaft, and is easy to replace. It could be used as an instrument for powering farms to enhance the efficiency of your work. Our PTO shaft can be adjusted to the model of these agricultural machinery: Hesston 1340, 1345 or certain CaseIH 8312 Massy Ferguson PTD 12 as well as New Idea 5512.
