Features
Ductile iron bearing cap - 117% stronger than gray iron for greater durability
Enhanced clutch pack - steel discs are 80% thicker to resist premature tooth wear
O-ring sealing configuration between housing and bearing cap reduces vibrational effects and improves clamp load
Hydraulic PowerShift (hot shift) operation - engages under load on automatic transmissions
10-bolt mounting aperture - fits Allison and Caterpillar automatic transmissions
Nine speed ratios including low and high speeds; wet spline lubrication option extends shaft life 7 to 10 times
SmartStart reduces shock load at start-up; Electronic Overspeed Control (EOC) protects driven equipment
