The Benefits of a PTO Shaft without Connecting Yokes

A Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft without connecting yokes provides users with more flexibility in matching their equipment. These shafts offer several benefits, including:

• They are versatile and work with a variety of equipment, reducing the need for multiple shafts.
• They allow for easier connection and disconnection of equipment.
• They offer increased safety as they eliminate the risk of entanglement with the spinning yoke.
• They can be easily adjusted to fit different equipment and operational requirements.
• They reduce maintenance requirements as there are fewer moving parts to wear out or fail.

Choosing the Right PTO Shaft

When selecting a PTO shaft, it’s important to consider several factors:

1. Length: The distance from the power source to the receiving device should be measured accurately.
2. Rated Power: This should be sufficient to drive the application without causing excessive wear or damage to the shaft.
3. Shaft Type and Connection: These will depend on the specific requirements of your equipment.
4. Torque Transmission Capability: The shaft should be able to transmit the required amount of torque without failure.
5. Environmental Requirements: Considerations should be given to the conditions in which the shaft will be operating.
6. Safety Features: Look for features such as reliable anti-jamming devices and shear pins.
7. Compatibility: Ensure the shaft will fit your equipment properly.
8. Certification: Look for certifications such as CE marking which indicates conformity with safety, health and environmental protection standards.

Choosing the Right Connecting Yoke for Your PTO Shaft

When choosing a yoke for your PTO shaft, consider the following factors:

1. Required Power and Torque Transmission: This will help determine the strength and capacity of the yoke, ensuring it can handle the expected load.
2. Yoke Size: The yoke should fit the diameter and connection requirements of the PTO shaft for a safe and reliable connection.
3. Type and Shape of the Connecting Yoke: The design and requirements of the PTO shaft will determine the suitable yoke type, such as cross-type or hook-type yokes.
4. Environmental and Application Requirements: The yoke should be able to withstand the conditions under which it will be operating.

The Importance of CE Certification

A PTO shaft with CE certification offers the following benefits:

1. It complies with the relevant regulations and standards of the European Union, ensuring its design, manufacturing, and usage meet the requirements of the European market.
2. It is necessary for selling PTO shafts in the European market.
3. It provides a reliable guarantee of the safety performance of the PTO shaft.
4. It instills confidence in the quality and safety of the product.

Safe Use of PTO Shafts

To ensure safe operation of PTO shafts, remember to:

1. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Familiarize yourself with the operating manual.
3. Perform regular checks and maintenance.
4. Avoid letting clothing get entangled.
5. Keep personnel away when the shaft is running.

Our Quality Certifications

Our PTO shafts are certified by CE, TS/16949, and ISO 9001. We take pride in our commitment to quality and safety.

PTO Shaft Structure and Components

A PTO shaft typically consists of a housing, drive shaft, universal joint, protective cover, and connectors. We also sell individual parts as needed.

Applications of PTO Shafts

PTO shafts have a wide range of applications, including:

1. Agricultural Machinery: They commonly connect tractors to equipment like mowers, harvesters, straw crushers, sprayers, and agitators.
2. Industrial Equipment: PTO shafts drive rotating equipment like pumps, generators, centrifuges, and agitators.
3. Transport Equipment: They also drive some transport equipment like trailers, semi-trailers, and tow trucks.
4. Solar Systems: PTO shafts are often used to rotate and adjust photovoltaic panels on trackers.

Adjusting the Length of a PTO Shaft

To adjust the length of a PTO shaft:

1. Remove the plastic protective cover.
2. Shorten the inner and outer tubes to the desired length, ensuring equal lengths are removed from each.



3. Remove any burrs with a file.
4. Shorten the inner and outer plastic tubes to the desired length, again ensuring equal lengths are removed from each.
5. Oil the inner steel tube, then reinstall the PTO shaft plastic protective cover.
