Logan direct drive PTO’s are effective and reliable solutions for applications where hydraulic pumps are used in on-demand or intermittent situations.
This Twin Disc Marine Transmission pictured above, is equipped with live SAE B pad, which uses a hydraulic pump to power nets, reels, hoists, anchors, and bow thrusters on a fishing vessel, or workboat.
By sandwiching a Logan Direct Drive PTO clutch in between the transmission and pump, the pump is now engaged on demand, from a control panel or bridge.
The ability to engage on-demand limits the amount of fuel and emissions required to power the pump.
There is also less wear and tear on the hydraulic pump and less heat generated in the hydraulic system which adds life to hydraulic oil, and other driveline components.
Lower ambient noise in the engine room, through intermittent use of pumps and equipment, goes a long way with crew comfort in galleys and quarters.
The Logan softstart™ manifold, used to engage and disengage the Logan Clutch, guarantees smooth engagement at RPM’s consistent with the new tier requirements for marine, mobile and industrial engines.
Logan offers fluid and air actuated softstart valve manifolds complete with gauge and pressure switch to ensure smooth engagement of the Logan PTO.
