BELL HOUSING POWER TAKE-OFF CLUTCHES
Bell Housing Series Description:
Logan Air / Fluid actuated Bell Housing PTOTM clutches are Self-AdjustingTM and designed to mount directly to a diesel or gasoline engine’s flywheel.
The friction disc packs are designed for dry operation. Actuation is accomplished through either a stationary cylinder-piston arrangement, or through internal shaft and clutch passages.
The clutch is bored and keyseated for shaft mounting. Torque is transferred from the disc pack to a geared drive ring which is attached to the engine’s flywheel.
Logan Clutches – How They Work
Pressurizing the cylinder, forces the piston to clamp and lock the friction and steel separator discs. When pressure is removed, release springs separate the friction and steel discs, maintaining a running clearance when disengaged.
Push Button Actuation - Eliminates Mechanical Linkages
Self-adjustingTM piston travel compensates for any disc wear, eliminating the need for mechanical adjustment (i.e. levers, linkages, and yokes). The amount of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure applied regulates the amount of torque transmitted through the clutch. Push-button, remote activation from a control panel, marine wheelhouse or cab is now possible.
