Introduction to the PTO Shaft

The PTO shaft, or power take-off shaft, is a critical component in many farming and industrial applications. It is designed to transmit power from a tractor or other power source to an attached implement or separate machine. The PTO Shaft without Connecting Yokes offers the following benefits:

• Ease of connection and disconnection
• High power transmission efficiency
• Adjustability to match different equipment
• Robust construction for durability



• Availability in various sizes and types

Our PTO Shaft Production

We manufacture PTO shafts that are fully compatible with the Walterscheid specifications. They are designed to seamlessly replace the original equipment and deliver the same level of performance and reliability.

Selecting the Right PTO Shaft

Length

The length of the PTO shaft is the distance between the power transmission device and the receiving device. It should be long enough to ensure effective power transmission but short enough to prevent excessive torsion and bending stress.

Rated Power

The rated power of the PTO shaft should match the power requirements of the attached implement or machine. This ensures efficient power transmission without overloading the shaft.

Shaft Type and Connection Method

The type of shaft and connection method should be compatible with the power source and the attached implement. This ensures a secure and efficient power transmission.

Torque Transmission Capability

The torque transmission capability of the PTO shaft should match the torque requirements of the attached implement. This ensures that the shaft can handle the load without failing.

Environmental Requirements

The PTO shaft should be able to withstand the environmental conditions where it is used. This includes factors like moisture, dust, temperature, and exposure to chemicals.

Safety Features

The PTO shaft should have safety features like a reliable anti-wrap device and shear pins to prevent accidents and damage to the shaft.

Compatibility

The PTO shaft should be compatible with the power source and the attached implement. This ensures a seamless connection and efficient power transmission.

Certification

PTO shafts should be certified to ensure they meet the necessary industry standards. For instance, CE certification indicates that the shaft meets the European Union’s safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.

Choosing the Right Connecting Yoke

Determining the Required Drive Power and Torque

The drive power and torque required by the PTO shaft will help determine the strength and capacity of the connecting yoke. This ensures that the yoke can handle the expected load.

Ensuring Correct Size

The size of the connecting yoke should match the diameter and connection requirements of the PTO shaft. This ensures a secure and reliable connection.

Choosing the Right Type and Shape

The type and shape of the connecting yoke should suit the design and requirements of the PTO shaft. Common types include cross-type and hook-type yokes.

Considering Environmental and Application Requirements

The connecting yoke should be suitable for the environmental conditions and application requirements where it will be used. This ensures its durability and reliability.

Our PTO Shaft’s CE Certification

Our PTO shafts are CE certified, which means they meet the European Union’s safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. This certification is important for several reasons:

• It ensures that our PTO shafts meet the design, manufacturing, and usage standards required by the European market.
• CE certification is a prerequisite for selling PTO shafts in the European market.
• The certification provides a reliable guarantee of the safety performance of our PTO shafts.
• Our CE-certified PTO shafts inspire confidence in the quality and safety of our products.

Safety in Using PTO Shafts

When using PTO shafts, it is important to:

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
• Familiarize yourself with the operation manual.
• Carry out regular checks and maintenance.
• Prevent clothing from getting entangled in the shaft.
• Keep people away from the shaft when it’s running.

Structure of the PTO Shaft

The PTO shaft comprises several parts, including the housing, drive shaft, universal joint, protective cover, and connectors. Each part is made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and efficient performance. We also sell individual parts for replacement or upgrade purposes.

Applications of PTO Shafts

PTO shafts are used in:

• Agricultural machinery: They connect tractors to implements like mowers, harvesters, straw crushers, sprayers, mixers, and more.
• Industrial equipment: They drive rotating equipment such as pumps, generators, centrifuges, mixers, and more.
• Transport equipment: They drive certain transport equipment like trailers, semi-trailers, and tow trucks.
• Solar systems: They enable the rotation and adjustment of tracker photovoltaic panels.

Adjusting the Length of the PTO Shaft

To adjust the length of the PTO shaft:

• Remove the plastic protective cover.
• Shorten the inner and outer tubes to the desired length.
• Remove burrs with a file.
• Shorten the inner and outer plastic tubes to the desired length.
• Oil the inner steel tube and reinstall the drive shaft plastic protective cover.
