Cut Fuel Costs & Boost Performance with Logan Front of Engine PTOs

In industries where on-demand power, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions are critical, Logan Clutch’s Front of Engine Direct Drive SAE PTO Clutches provide a powerful, reliable, and efficient solution. Whether you operate in marine, industrial, or standby power applications, our air or fluid-actuated PTO clutches help reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and extend equipment lifespan—all while delivering seamless hydraulic pump engagement.

Why Choose Logan Front of Engine PTO Clutches?

Unlike continuously engaged PTOs, Logan’s on-demand PTO clutches only engage when needed, significantly cutting down on unnecessary wear and fuel use. This means:

✅ Lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions
✅ Reduced noise and vibration
✅ Extended lifespan of hydraulic pumps and driveline components
✅ Minimal maintenance requirements
✅ Flexible control via remote or manual engagement

By switching to Logan PTO clutches, you increase efficiency while lowering operational costs—a win for both performance and sustainability.

How Logan PTO Clutches Work

Logan Front of Engine PTO clutches act as a connect-disconnect system between an engine’s live PTO, crankshaft, or auxiliary driveline. These air or fluid-actuated clutches engage hydraulic pumps, compressors, or generators on demand, allowing operators to activate power systems only when necessary.

Result:

Less idling, reduced engine load, and more fuel-efficient operation.

Key Applications

Logan PTO clutches are widely used in marine, industrial, and standby power applications, including:

• Marine Gensets – Powers hydraulic winches, thrusters, anchors, and lifts.
• Workboats & Tugboats – Improves energy efficiency by engaging auxiliary power only when needed.
• Sailing & Mega Yachts – Provides seamless hydraulic engagement while reducing noise and emissions.
• Skid-Mounted Gensets for Standby Power – Ensures reliable power when and where you need it.

American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Type Approved – Ensuring maximum reliability in marine applications.
