PTO drive shafts

Weasler builds three drive shaft lines for primary and secondary drivelines, from the off-the-shelf Standard to the Professional for continuous duty. Each is sold in North American and profile metric series.

Weasler Standard80 hp max at 540 rpm · Occasional duty cycle
Weasler Classic170 hp max at 540 rpm · Intermittent duty cycle
Weasler Professional170 hp max at 540 rpm · Continuous duty cycle

Torque limiters and clutches

A torque limiter, also called a clutch, disconnects the driveline when torque spikes so a jam does not break the machine. Weasler makes five types, from a simple shear bolt to automatic re-engaging designs.

Weasler Ball Shear340 - 5,650 Nm torque range
Weasler Automatic Clutch160 - 6,000 Nm torque range
Weasler Friction Clutch680 - 2,700 Nm torque range
Weasler Ratchet Clutch120 - 1,500 Nm torque range
Weasler Overrunning ClutchLets the load coast without back driving the system.

Torsional dampers

Weasler torsional dampers cut vibration in the powertrain, which Weasler says improves operator comfort and reduces wear. They come as shaft-mounted couplers and as flywheel dampers.

Weasler Shock Absorbing CouplerStand-alone or drive shaft-mounted joint that minimizes vibration.
Weasler Flywheel DamperEngine to transmission dampening for compact utility tractors, marine and pump drives.

Driveline components

Each Weasler drive shaft may include a telescoping shaft, yokes, cross and bearing kits and a guard. Weasler offers an aftermarket program to a worldwide network of distributors and agents.
