The OMSI PFT-PC4/3000 is an intermediate split-shaft power transmission unit, commonly installed in industrial and municipal vehicles—especially sewer combination trucks, septic pumps, vacuum loaders, and wash-down or jet-truck chassis. It enables the vehicle’s drivetrain to power auxiliary equipment (pumps, blowers, compressors, etc.) using the driveshaft input while providing operator control over engagement and multiple output ports. What makes the PC4/3000 particularly useful is its design to minimize downtime, reduce operator effort, and provide flexibility with multiple output types.
Key Features
- Split shaft design: Provides power to auxiliary outputs without requiring full clutch disengagement; a more operator-friendly approach to PTO control.
- Oil-bath clutches: One or two clutches submerged in oil, allowing for smooth engagement of side or central outputs under load.
- Multiple output options: Mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic output shafts; side and/or central outputs depending on configuration.
- Control system: Often includes double-acting pneumatic cylinders (6-8 bar) for output control, with safety systems to maintain output status in case of air supply loss.
- Operator conveniences: Ability to engage side outputs while main shaft is rotating (depending on version), optional stationary vs in-motion engagement; optional direction of rotation settings.
