Product catalog summary
Introduction
Mechanical Power Take-Off (PTO) units are crucial for transmitting engine power in various industrial applications such as air compressors, agricultural machinery, and oil field services. These units include a clutch assembly with shaft and bearings housed in cast iron for easy installation on internal combustion engines.
Specifications
PTOs are designed for Duty Class II industrial applications with engines up to 1243 kW (1667 hp) and standard SAE flywheel housing dimensions from No. 6 to No. 00. They feature clutches ranging from single to triple plates, with optional sintered-iron clutch plates to increase torque capacities.
Product Features
The units are built to handle high inertia applications with multiple-plate, ventilated designs for effective cooling. They include oil-lubricated tapered roller bearings to extend lubrication intervals and can withstand temporary torque overloads.
Special Units
Special PTOs include straddle bearing concepts and limited-attendance models with extended lubrication intervals. Custom designs are available for OEMs, ranging from minor modifications to entirely new concepts.
Selection Process
The selection process involves considering allowable side loads and calculating the side load to ensure it is less than the maximum value listed for each PTO. Assistance is available from jbj Techniques Limited.
Models and Series
Various series such as CX, CA, and SP are listed, each with specific features and applications. These models cater to different industrial needs, offering options like single friction plates and high side-load capacities.
Conclusion
jbj Techniques Limited offers a comprehensive range of PTO units designed to meet diverse industrial requirements, ensuring reliability and efficiency in power transmission.
Types of Power Take-Offs
  • Limited-Attendance PTO: Features special grease on main bearings, sealed pilot bearings, and extended lubrication intervals.
  • Rubber Block Drive PTOs: Absorb torsional activity and are clutchless.
  • Inline PTO: Designed for in-line duty with sealed pilot bearings and rotatable pulley housing.
  • Pump Mount PTO: Offers single SAE pad on output and optional keyed stub shaft input.
PTO Sizing Example
An example is provided for selecting a PTO for a rotary screw compressor, detailing the calculation of net power, side-load, and comparison with PTO ratings to ensure suitability.
Ordering Codes
PTOs are identified by a code indicating the SAE housing, output configuration, clutch size, and number of clutch plates.
Specifications and Load Factors
The document provides specifications for flat belts and various clutch models, including SP218P, SP318P, SP311P, and SP314S. It outlines load factors for different applications: 2.1 for reciprocating compressors and severe shock drives, and 1.8 for large inertia type drives like crushers and chippers.
Torque Calculations
Formulas are provided for calculating torque in both imperial and metric units. Application torque is determined by multiplying torque by the load factor.
Clutch Specifications
The document details specifications for various clutch models, including allowable side load, maximum safe speed, and input torque. Features include tapered roller main bearings, optional sintered iron plates, and ball bearing throw out collars.
Load Classifications
Load classifications are based on AGMA Load Characteristics. Clutch engagements should occur with the prime mover below 1000 RPM.
Features and Benefits
The document lists features and benefits of the clutch models, such as ease of installation, frequent engagement capability, and adjustment verification.
Usage Recommendations
The document categorizes load classifications based on AGMA Load Characteristics and provides guidelines for different prime movers, including electric motors and internal combustion engines, under varying durations of service and load conditions.
Contact Information
For further engineering specifications, the document advises contacting jbj Techniques Limited or visiting their website.

Mechanical Power Take-Off Units Selection Process How To Choose The Appropriate PTO Several factors must be considered in the selection process in addition to duty service, such as: SPEED LIMITS • SIDE-LOAD LIMITS • CLUTCH TORQUE LIMITS The selections are usual dry clutch disconnect type applications where engagements are infrequent and are at low (idle) input speed. Once engaged operation continues for one hour or more, engaging the clutch at higher input speed will reduce component life. Refer to the following duty classifications and examples. Application Data*: SAE Housing Size Input Power...
