Twin Disc torque converter
Twin Disc torque converter
Twin Disc offers single-stage hydraulic torque converters of both stationary and rotating housing types and a three-stage hydraulic torque converter. The Twin Disc Three-Stage torque converter design, incorporating three rings of turbine blades and two sets of reactor or stator blades, develops a very high torque factor-up to five times engine output torque when at stall. The 10,000 series is rated for applications up to 335 hp at 2400 rpm; the standards-duty 11,500 series to 420 hp at 2200 rpm; the heavy-duty 11,500 series to 800 hp at 2200 rpm.
MODEL F UNITS
Bolts directly to the engine flywheel housing. A positive gear-tooth drive transmits power from fly-wheel with no clutch. Model F input drive is available on all sizes.
MODEL FO UNITS
Model FO units are open-end, flywheel-mounted torque converters with overspeed or boom-lowering freewheel. Units are available in the 10,000 series.
INPUT & OUTPUT COMBINATIONS
A variety of output combinations is available with various three-stage converters. Type B is a chain housing. This is available with the 10,000 and the standard-duty 11,500 series. Type C-1 output is a straight shaft for direct connection to the driven load; the Type C-2 is a flanged shaft for universal joint connection; Type C-3 is similar to the Type. The heavy-duty 11,500 series converter is offered with a heavy-duty type C-3 output. This series is adaptable to all applications required to withstand heavy side-pull loads.
TWIN DISC FLUID COUPLINGS: 27” HUD-00
Performance to 1500 hp @ 1500 rpm
The Model 27-inch HUD is a disconnect-type fluid coupling P.T.O which when used in a drive train eliminates the need for a disconnect clutch. The disconnect feature can be rapid or normal. Normal disconnect is provided by bleeding the coupling oil through orifices located at the periphery of the coupling. If quick disconnect is required, an optional set of four dump valves can be ordered. The dump valves, using no sliding parts or rubber connections, open large ports to rapidly exhaust the coupling oil. Dump valves can be installed in the field if not ordered originally, but desired.
