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.

Standard Specifications:

Standard Logan Bell Housing PTO’s are available in No. 00 to No. 7 Size SAE Bells with input torque ratings from 159 lb. ft. (216Nm) to over 7,473 Lb. Ft. (10133 Nm). Logan uses a 1.4 factor of safety in our torque specifications. 

Air / Fluid operating pressures range from 100 (6,9 bar) to 200 psi (13,8 bar) for Generation I and Generation III models; and 320 psi. (23 bar) for Generation II Models.

Operating speeds range from 1 to 3,000 RPM.

Modified Standards: 

Higher horsepower, torque ranges, speeds, actuation pressures,  and design configurations are available to meet customer’s  specific design requirements.

Generation I  Over Shaft Actuation with Pilot Bearing

Generation I Over Shaft Actuation with Pilot Bearing

Logan  Bell Housing PTO’s are self-adjusting, and over-shaft actuated, using air or hydraulics. Gen I Bell Housing PTO’s utilize a pilot bearing and can retrofit or fit within the same envelope space as most mechanical, over-center PTO clutches. Logan clutch engagement is smooth and positive, eliminating mechanical hand levers, yokes, and sleeves. Since Logan PTO’s are fluid or air actuated, remote engagement from a bridge, wheelhouse or engine control panel is now possible.
