Microprocessor Controlled Hydraulic Clutch

The HPTO21 is a hydraulically applied clutch. Its friction plates operate in an oil (wet) environment. Its hydraulic design eliminates the need to adjust the clutch throughout its wear life. It mounts to an FX Pump Drive (which has 4 pump pads).

Clutch Controller

The HPTO Advanced3 microprocessor-based clutch controller limits the typical service problems that are associated with operator abuse. The patented start-up sequence brings the driven load smoothly up to engine speed automatically compensating for the power required, optimizing peak engine torque. This means the HPTO21 can start equipment with significant inertia or even under partially jammed conditions. The HPTO21 package increases equipment reliability and profitability by simplifying operation and limiting opportunities for abuse. The controller is also SAE J1939 capable allowing it to connect into the machine’s CAN-bus system.
