WPT Flywheel Housing and Flywheel Adapter Guide for Tier 4 Engines

More Standards, More Problems

The implementation of the Tier 4 standard in 2015 brought the strictest EPA emissions requirements for diesel engines this century. An unforeseen byproduct of this standard was the disregard of the industrial SAE specifications for flywheel housing and the flywheel adapter, specifically the section that governs the over-center clutch mounting.

Forgetting Industrial SAE Mounting

To meet growing demands and adhere to the emissions standard, engine manufacturers opted not to support the industrial SAE mounting. This meant engines had no bore for the pilot bearing, and the flywheel offset was incorrect, or both. All of this, coupled with a price increase, made for a hectic time to purchase an engine and Power Take-off (PTO).

Leading the Way

WPT was at the forefront of this issue when we released our first Pilotless® Mechanical PTO in 2015. These PTOs eliminated the need for the pilot bearing bore by using a dual main bearing assembly. This solved the first problem.

To solve the second problem, WPT created a flywheel housing and flywheel adapter for most bellhousings. These spacers and adapters, when used with our Pilotless® PTO series, made for a cost-effective solution to this new Tier 4 dilemma.
