Eaton’s Mobility Group recently expanded its line of mobile power products with the new Bezares 3960, 2500, and 500 series power takeoff (PTO) units, as well as APSCO APV and APG series directional hydraulic control valves.
APSCO, an Eaton distribution partner, offers a complementary line with a large installed base. The new valve offerings will help Eaton distributors with replacement parts and also can be used for new installs, Eaton said.
“These new PTOs and hydraulic control valves provide our customers with even more mobile power solutions for the latest automated and automatic transmissions, all from the same trusted source,” Brad Gulick, Mobility Group commercial product manager, said in a news release. “Our expertise in managing power and the extensive PTO knowledge of our partner Bezares USA allows us to deliver new products and solutions that make it easier for our customers to do their work.”
The three PTOs for new commercial vehicle applications are:
- 3960 Series PTO: This PTO fits the unique design of the Ford Super Duty TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission. A robust low-profile housing minimizes vehicle interference and allows for quicker and easier installation. A DIN 5462 output shaft and special output adapters provide versatility and allow for mounting of high-pressure pumps directly to the PTO – an exclusive Bezares design.
- 2500 Series PTO: This PTO was developed to meet the growing demand for low-speed PTOs compatible with Eaton Cummins’ Endurant HD, Endurant XD, and Endurant XD Pro series transmissions. It is optimized for product pumping applications, including thinner liquids such as fuels, solvents, and petrochemicals, and thicker liquids such as residual fuels and resins.
“The 2500 series is the low-speed, 8-bolt PTO for Endurant series transmissions that customers asked for,” Gulick said.
“Its optimized housing design ensures easy, interference-free installation.”
- 500 Series PTO: This hot-shift, eight-bolt, two-gear PTO fits Paccar TX-8 and ZF 8AP automatic transmissions. It features quick, pneumatic shifting and has a low profile designed for a better fit. It can be ordered with a variety of output types, including ISO 4 bolt and SAE “B” 2/4 and can be configured to mount to either side of the transmission.
The APSCO APV and APG valves are being added to the portfolio to allow customers the opportunity to bundle more products from Eaton for all their mobile power needs, the company said. APSCO’s APG and APV series sectional, directional control valves are interchangeable with the Parker/Commercial VA and VG series and Parker/Gresen hydraulic valve product lines. These valves can be used in parallel/open center circuit applications with manual, cable shift or pneumatic operation, and can be purchased as individual components or designed into a custom-engineered and tested valve assembly.
