Parker Chelsea said its new 897 series makes PTO and pump installation simpler and more reliable on refuse truck, fire apparatus and pumper cleaner trucks.
Torsional vibrations from today’s diesel engines prematurely wear out mating PTO and pump splines. The large size of the pumps used on these applications create a challenging application on these work trucks.
The 897 series is designed with these challenges in mind, providing maximum clearance and Chelsea’s wet spline system to lubricate the mating PTO and pump shafts to provide extended shaft life. The new 897 series is a constantly engaged PTO and a good choice for applications that use a variable displacement piston pump, according to the company. The 897 is available with five speed ratios and eight output options that provide broad coverage for all application requirements.
