1. PTO Clutch with Guide Bearing

Function of the guide bearing: The guide bearing supports the moving parts of the clutch pressure plate, ensuring the clutch remains stable during operation and reduces friction and wear. It helps the relative movement between clutch components, ensuring smooth separation and engagement of the clutch.

Applications: This type of clutch is commonly used in situations requiring high speed, high load, and greater mechanical stability, especially in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, etc.

Advantages:

Improves the stability of clutch operation and reduces vibration.

Reduces wear, extending the clutch’s lifespan.

More suitable for high-load, long-duration applications.

2. PTO Clutch without Guide Bearing

Clutch without a guide bearing: This clutch has a simpler structure, with no additional bearing components. The connection and disconnection of the clutch are typically achieved through internal springs or other mechanical components.

Applications: This type of clutch is more commonly used in equipment with lighter loads, lower working intensity, or where cost is a significant factor.

Advantages:

Simple structure, lower cost.

Relatively easy to maintain.

Disadvantages:

More susceptible to high load and long-duration operation, which may lead to faster wear.

Under heavy loads, vibration and instability may occur.

Summary

PTO clutches with a guide bearing are suitable for high-load, high-stability applications and offer better performance and longer service life.

PTO clutches without a guide bearing are more suited for low-load and simpler work environments, with the advantages of low cost and simple structure, but may have some shortcomings in stability and durability.
