Plain Bore Yoke Type D-Keyway & Clamp Bolt for PTO Shaft

The Plain Bore Yoke Type D-Keyway & Clamp Bolt represents the strongest plain bore retention available. A split-body clamp design compresses the yoke bore around the shaft via a through-bolt, generating enormous friction grip in addition to the keyway torque drive. Engineered for applications with severe shock loads, reversing torque, or heavy vibration where lighter retention methods fail. The clamp bolt effectively creates a shrink-fit-like grip that is released only by deliberate bolt loosening.

Description

Plain Bore Yoke Type D (Keyway & Clamp Bolt) — Maximum-Strength Clamped PTO Yoke for Extreme Loads

Plain Bore Yoke Type D-Keyway & Clamp Bolt for PTO Shaft

The Plain Bore Yoke Type D-Keyway & Clamp Bolt provides the absolute maximum shaft retention force of any plain bore yoke in our range. A precision split in the yoke body allows a through-bolt to compress the bore around the shaft, generating friction grip equivalent to several tons of radial force. Combined with the keyway for positive rotational drive, this creates a virtually immovable connection suitable for the most brutal operating conditions: stone crushers, stump grinders, industrial shredders, and any equipment subjected to extreme shock loading or torque reversals.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

💪 Maximum Clamping Force

Split-body bolt compression generates tons of radial grip — the strongest retention of any plain bore yoke type.

🔑 Keyway + Clamp Dual System

Keyway handles primary torque; clamp bolt adds friction grip that resists shock loads, reversals, and vibration.

⚖ Shock & Reversal Rated

Designed for applications with sudden torque spikes and load reversals that would loosen set screws or walk out circlips.

🔒 Controlled Clamp Release

Connection is only released by deliberate bolt loosening — no accidental separation possible under any operating condition.

🔧 Split-Body Engineering

The precision-machined split and bolt channel maintain concentricity under clamping load, avoiding bore distortion.

🔥 Fatigue-Rated Clamp Zone

Clamp area is specially heat-treated to resist fatigue cracking from repeated high-stress clamping cycles.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Fits keyed cylindrical shafts in 20-50 mm range. The preferred choice for extreme-duty connections on industrial and agricultural equipment from all manufacturers. Particularly specified for shredders, crushers, grinders, and heavy forestry equipment.

📚 Selection Guide

Choose Type D when: Your application involves impact loads, torque reversals, or extreme vibration that defeats lighter retention methods (pins, set screws, circlips).

Clamp Bolt Torque: Tighten progressively to the recommended torque (varies by series, typically 40-80 Nm). Do not exceed — bore distortion can result.

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

🔧 Heavy Industrial
Stone crushers, shredders, industrial grinders, recycling equipment
🌿 Forestry Equipment
Stump grinders, log splitters, wood chippers, bark processors
⚖ Reversing-Load Drives
Equipment with bidirectional rotation or sudden torque reversals
💧 Extreme Vibration
Vibratory screens, compactors, and demolition equipment

🛠 Installation & Usage Guide

  1. Loosen clamp bolt fully: Open the split bore for shaft insertion.
  2. Install key and slide yoke: Seat key, align keyway, push yoke to position.
  3. Progressively tighten clamp bolt: Tighten in stages to recommended torque. Verify concentricity.
  4. Check for bore distortion: Rotate the shaft — it should turn smoothly with no binding.
  5. Install cross kit: Mount universal joint and PTO components.
  6. Periodic checks: Re-torque clamp bolt every 50 hours in extreme applications.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is Type D necessary for standard farming?
For typical farming, Type B or C is usually sufficient. Type D is for extreme applications — if your equipment breaks Type C set screws or walks off Type A pins, Type D is the answer.
Can the clamp bolt distort the bore?
Only if over-torqued. Follow the recommended torque values and the precision split maintains concentricity.
What bolt grade should be used?
Minimum Grade 10.9. Grade 12.9 preferred for extreme applications.
Is Type D the strongest yoke?
For plain bore retention, yes. It provides the highest combined rotational and axial retention force.
Can I use Type D on a shaft without a keyway?
The clamp alone provides substantial friction grip, but a keyway is strongly recommended for reliable torque drive.
How does clamping compare to interference fit?
Clamping provides similar grip force but is field-adjustable and removable, unlike press-fit connections.
