Abstract: An auxiliary PTO assembly is designed for attaching a front mounted auxiliary rotary driven hydraulic pump to an OEM truck engine. The PTO assembly includes an auxiliary belt drive pulley which is formed by a ring which is shrink-fitted around a harmonic balancer which forms a portion of an OEM fan drive pulley. A bracket attached to the OEM engine is adapted to hold the hydraulic pump and a plurality of idler and tensioner pulleys. Installation of the inventive assembly is relatively simple and straight forward and entails virtually no modification of the OEM components. The entire PTO assembly including the auxiliary drive belt and the hydraulic pump are accommodated behind the original position of the OEM cooling fan such that the fan shaft does not need to be extended.

Abstract: A differential pressure to electrical signal transmitter has a pair of barrier diaphragms and a central control diaphragm located between the barrier diaphragms. Input fluids are applied to respective chambers on the outside of the barrier diaphragms while the chambers between the control diaphragm and the barrier diaphragm are filled by corresponding substantially incompressible fill liquids. The fluid pressure of the two fill fluids are conducted by corresponding fluid channels to respective sides of a displacement sensing element to produce an electrical signal representative of differential pressure. The control diaphragm is biased by spring loaded spacers located on corresponding sides of the control diaphragm. The spacers have fluid passages to permit the respective fill fluids to reach the control diaphragm.
