In today’s market, Tier 4 engine users commonly find themselves limited in applications that require a Power Take-Off (PTO) clutch. This could be because the engine is equipped with a non-SAE housing or because the engine flywheel does not have a stock pilot bearing bore to accommodate the PTO. Whatever the problem, WPT Power has the solution for Tier 4 Engines looking to power a secondary function.
Paired with the WPT Pilotless® PTO, our Tier 4 Engine Adapters offer a solution for users whose engines are equipped with non-standard housings or flywheels. The Tier 4 Engine Adaptors consist of two separate flywheel & housing rings. The housing adaptor is bolted to the bellhousing, which creates enough depth to mount the WPT Pilotless® PTO. As a result, an additional adapter must be installed to accommodate the distance between the flywheel and the PTO. Once the Tier 4 engine Adapters are installed, Tier 4 Engines can now utilize a PTO as required by applications.
The second major issue users of Tier 4 engines face is flywheels that are equipped with a standard pilot bearing bore. These non-standard flywheels do not allow for the traditional pilot-bearing PTO to be mounted to the engine without the creation of special adapters, which adds cost to the engine package. However, WPT Power solved this issue with our Pilotless® Mechanical PTO. Our Pilotless® design does not utilize a pilot bearing; therefore, installation on an engine without a pilot bearing bore is no longer an issue.
Whether it’s mounting a PTO to a Tier 4 engine or another application challenge, look no further than WPT Power for the solution! Contact a WPT Sales Representative at 940.761.1971 or info@wptpower.com.
