Specifications:
The AM 450 Twin Disc Pump Drive features a cast iron housing, case-hardened and ground spur gears, ball bearings, case-hardened shafts, and Viton seals on the input shaft. The output rotation is opposite to the input rotation, and gear ratios are identical on all outputs. The modular design allows for flexibility in application.

Technical Data:
The maximum input power is 640 kW (858 HP) for a ratio of 1.00:1 at 2400 RPM. Various gear ratios are available, each with specific maximum input torque, output torque per pump pad, input speed, output speed, and oil quantity requirements.

Dimensions and Weight:
The basic pump drive weighs 205 kg (452 lb) and includes four additional pump pads available on the input side of the drive.

Selection Procedures:
1. Identify the number and type of hydraulic pumps to be applied.
2. Check the maximum torque absorbed by the pump(s) on each output.
3. Verify the maximum power/torque entering the pump drive.
4. Ensure proper clearance for mounting pumps on the drive.
5. Select the desired input configuration (Basic mount, Engine mounted clutch input, or Independently mounted clutch input) and verify speed and torque limits.
6. Ensure output torque values are within limits.
7. Verify input speed does not exceed maximum limits.
8. Select the proper output option for pump adaptation.
9. Identify cooling requirements, ensuring oil temperature does not exceed specified limits.

Clutch Options:
Various clutch types are available, each with specific maximum input torque, speed, and power ratings. Clutch engagements should occur with the prime mover below 1000 RPM, and high inertia loads may require larger clutches.

Safety and Compliance:
Safe operation depends on compliance with engineering information, proper installation, operation, and routine maintenance. Users are responsible for providing and installing necessary safety devices.
