Pump Drives
Twin Disc now offers a new line of pump drives to meet a broad range of hydraulic
system set-ups and application needs. These drives are available in a wide variety
of gear ratios, including both speed increasing and reducing configurations.
The modular design of these pump drives enables you to choose from several input
options, including a rubber block drive, or clutch to match your SAE engine
flywheel dimensions. Independent mounting is also an option, both direct and with
a clutch.
For your pump mounting requirements, Twin Disc offers standard SAE adaptor kits
as well as a wide variety of non-SAE adaptations for your special needs.
With models having one, two, three, four or six pump pads, Twin Disc is sure to
have a pump drive to complement your hydraulic application. For your convenience,
the number of pump pads is indicated by the first numeral after the “AM” designation
in the pump drive model numbers. Models AM 232, AM 365, AM 450, and AM 480 also
have additional pump pads available on the input side of the pump drives.

All clutch engagements to be with prime mover below 1000 RPM. High inertia loads
may require use of larger clutch.

To calculate application torque:
5252 x HP / Engine RPM = Torque
Torque x Load Factor = Application Torque
Use load factor from chart above
