Why Choose an Ogura PTO Clutch?

A Power Take-Off (PTO) clutch is an essential component in outdoor power equipment, playing a vital role in the operation of lawnmowers, wood chippers, saws, and other gas-powered machinery. The PTO clutch engages and disengages power transmission from the engine to the implement, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Choosing a high-quality PTO clutch-like those from Ogura - can significantly impact your equipment's safety, performance, and cost-effectiveness over its lifespan.

Why Choose an Ogura PTO Clutch?

1 Safety - Protecting Operators and Equipment: Enhanced Operator Safety
PTO clutches integrate operator presence control, automatically disengaging the implement when the operator releases the controls. This feature is crucial for preventing accidents.
  • Built-in Braking Function: Many Ogura PTO clutches include an internal brake system that quickly stops rotating blades or cutting tools after disengagement. This reduces the risk of injuries and damage.
  • Overload Protection: The clutch helps prevent damage to the engine and drivetrain by disengaging under excessive load conditions, reducing the risk of mechanical failure.
2 Performance - Reliable Power Transmission
  • Precise Engagement and Disengagement: Ogura PTO clutches provide smooth engagement, reducing shock loads on the engine and drivetrain. This leads to better handling and longer equipment life.
  • Consistent Power Output: With high torque transfer capabilities, Ogura clutches ensure consistent power delivery, improving efficiency and cutting performance.
  • Durability in Harsh Conditions: Designed for outdoor use, these clutches are built to withstand dirt, moisture, and heavy-duty operation, maintaining performance over time.
  • Soft Start Compatibility: Some models feature a soft start controller, which allows for gradual engagement, reducing stress on mechanical components and extending belt life.
3 Cost-Effectiveness - Long-Term Value and Savings
  • Extended Clutch Life: Ogura PTO clutches are built with high-quality materials and precise engineering, reducing wear and tear, minimizing maintenance costs, and increasing longevity.
  • Adjustment for Wear: Ogura PTO clutches can be adjusted for wear to extend life. Older designs feature adjustment nuts. Newer styles feature pads that can be flipped to get more hours out of the clutch.
  • Reduced Downtime: Reliable performance means fewer breakdowns, less downtime, and lower repair costs over the lifespan of your equipment.
  • Better Fuel Efficiency: By ensuring optimal power transmission, an Ogura clutch can help reduce fuel consumption, saving money in the long run.
