Bibbigard safety element torque limiters incorporate a number of safety element modules of a specific size mounted between two flanges and preset to release at a specified torque value in order to protect the drive system from expensive damage and lost production. They can be used with various types of drive medium many of which are available from Altra Industrial Motion. Bibbigard has been successfully utilized in many different industries where, subject to space availability, the release torque capacity is virtually unlimited.

Wichita's Air PTO is powered by our heavy-duty Standard Vent clutch. With large friction areas for high energy starts and an air actuated clutch for remote or automatic control of the PTO.
The air actuated PTO is ideal for your application because:
| • |
The bearing supported shaft eliminates sideload on the crankshaft |
| |
|
| • |
The high speed airtube not affected by centrifugal force |
| |
|
| • |
There are no o-rings or diaphragms to wear out |
| |
|
| • |
14" and 18" 1, 2 & 3 plate clutches available |

Wichita's mechanical PTO's are powered by Eaton's Solo™ mechanical 2-plate clutch. Built-in damping springs on the clutch; driven discs and no pilot bearing are some of the standard features that make Wichita's mechanical PTO user friendly when applied in the harsh environment of diesel engines.

Sure-Flex is a TB Wood's original! Sure-Flex Couplings utilize a rubber (EPDM or Neoprene) or Hytrel™ thermoplastic flex element (sleeve) to transmit torque and accommodate shaft misalignments. Sure-Flex couplings have exceptional torsional flexibility, and the
4-way flexing action absorbs virtually all types of shock, vibration, misalignment, and
end float. Sure-flex couplings are an excellent choice when low cost, high flexibility, vibration damping, and easy installation are primary concerns.
