  • POWER TAKE OFF HAVING ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH ACTUATION RATE
    Publication number: 20170072793
    Abstract: A power take off unit includes an output gear having a hydraulic circuit. The hydraulic circuit is an internal hydraulic circuit that is in fluid communication with an internal clutch assembly. The hydraulic circuit includes a flow-restrictive passage that modulates the flow of hydraulic fluid in order to provide a soft start clutch engagement that reduces shock loads associated with loads produced when starting torque is applied to the attached equipment.
