Matched components.Unmatched performance.
Rather than simply supplying individual components, Twin Disc designs a carefully matched mobility system. Each element of the system coordinates
with the others, providing superior performance and reliability.The system starts with an engine-mounted modulated clutch torque
converter. It delivers precisely-controlled power dividing at low speed, while
a lockup clutch provides a mechanical connection to engine power at higher
speed. An integrated power take-off efficiently splits engine power to drive
auxiliary equipment.An independently-mounted six-speed automatic transmission with an integrated drop-box eliminates the need for a separate transfer case. It includes
a patented differential that smoothly applies power to driving wheels.An advanced electronic controlcenter coordinates communication
between the drivetrain elements. It
extends service life by protecting the
system from driver error and optimizing
power relationships between compo-
nents. With Twin Disc’s powerful and
programmable microprocessor, we can
customize the system’s operation to meet your specific operating requirements. Then the design must prove itself in a fully-automated test facility. We can run high-speed
endurance tests around the clock, speeding
development and response time. A wholly-owned subsidiary, TD Electronics,Inc., supplies all electronic compo-
nents for Twin Disc products. We
control every stage of electronic
system development, from concept
to installation.Twin Disc’s flexible, cell-basedmanufacturing facilities can adapt
quickly to produce new products asthey’re developed. We design and manufacture
all components in-house, including shafts, gears
and housings. Our manufacturing centers in the
USA and Europe are certified under the provi-
sions of ISO 9001.Our regional sales offices and vast distribu-tion network support Twin Disc equipment in
service all over the world. With a corporate pres-
ence in every major market region, Twin Disc
can put engineering and service expertise on
location virtually anywhere.
The total package.
We are able to successfully build systems for so manydiverse applications because we control every step of system
development, from research to engineering to manufacturing
to sales and service.Twin Disc has the engineering experience to anticipate the power transmission challenges a vehicle will face, and the resources to develop a specific product or system solution
to meet those challenges. Using computerized systems mod-eling, torsional vibration analysis and finite
element analysis, we can design your
system for optimum efficiency.
