Balanced tuning of main and secondary drivelines with flexible components

摘要

Power take-off (PTO) drives from main-drive gearboxes are excellent devices to make use of main engine power - and are valid for both four- and two-stroke engines. Depending on engine performance and characteristics, there is, in general, sufficient output available for power take-off purposes. Additionally, by reversing the PTO to become a PTI (power take-in), additional or get-you-home power can be added to a main transmission train. At the same time, the degree of redundancy is increased.
