Eaton introduces new Power Take-off and Hydraulic Control Valves at Work Truck Show
Power management company Eaton today announced its Mobility Group is expanding its mobile power products portfolio with the introduction of the Bezares 3960, 2500 and 500 series power takeoff (PTO) units, as well as APSCO APV and APG series directional hydraulic control valves.
The new offerings will be introduced at Work Truck Week 2024, March 5-8 in Indianapolis.
APSCO, an Eaton distribution partner, offers a complementary, versatile product line with a large installed base. These valve offerings will help Eaton distributors with replacement parts and can also be used for new installs. Their addition to Eaton’s portfolio offers customers a more complete shopping experience from Eaton.
“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,” said Brad Gulick, commercial product manager, Eaton’s Mobility Group. “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 new PTOs being introduced are for new commercial vehicle applications as follows:
- 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, 8-bolt, 2-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. APSCO’s market-competitive APG and APV series sectional, directional control valves are interchangeable with the popular 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.
Bezares USA is a global manufacturer of PTOs, hydraulic pumps, fittings, tanks, valves and other related mobile power hydraulic components. APSCO is a leading manufacturer of pneumatic and hydraulic products for the mobile equipment and transportation industries. Eaton has a distribution agreement with Bezares USA and APSCO to serve as a distributor for mobile power hydraulic portfolio and hydraulic control valves, respectively. In addition to distribution services, Eaton also provides post-sale service and support through its extensive Roadranger field team.
