What It Is and Why It Matters

A hydraulic pump clutch (also known as a PTO clutch) enables you to engage and disengage the hydraulic pump from the vehicle’s engine or gearbox. This allows the pump to operate only when needed, saving energy and reducing wear on the system.

It is commonly used in tipper trucks, cranes, towing and industrial vehicles, and anywhere auxiliary hydraulics are required.

Function and Benefits

  • Transfers power from the gearbox to the pump only when activated.
  • Reduces fuel consumption and pump wear.
  • Extends the overall lifespan of the hydraulic system.
  • Provides simple control and safer operation.

Choosing the Right Clutch

When selecting a hydraulic pump clutch, check:

  • Compatibility with your gearbox and pump (OEM reference, dimensions).
  • Maximum power and torque capacity.
  • Mounting type (front, rear, pneumatic or mechanical).

For the best reliability, choose tested models with full technical documentation and warranty.

Maintenance

  • Regularly check seals, fittings, and bolt tightness.
  • Watch for unusual noise or vibration.
  • Service the clutch during your routine hydraulic system maintenance.

A high-quality hydraulic pump clutch is essential for efficient and safe hydraulic system operation.

With the right choice and proper maintenance, you ensure long service life, lower operating costs, and greater reliability.
