281GGFJW-G5RF Chelsea PTO Assembly

The Chelsea 281 Series Power Take-Off, part number 281GGFJW-G5RF or 281GGFJWG5RF, is a hydraulically shifted hot-shift PTO designed for 10-bolt automatic transmissions, including Allison applications. It is an evolution of the 280 Series, with a ductile iron bearing cap rated 117% stronger than gray iron, an O-ring sealing configuration between the housing and bearing cap for improved clamp load, and an 80% thicker steel disc clutch pack to resist premature tooth wear. The 281 Series carries a single, continuous duty torque rating and offers nine speed ratios spanning low and high speeds. Rotatable cast-iron flanges reduce interference fit issues at the pump flange, and a Positive Stop feature on driveline outputs eliminates oil seal damage from coupling contact. Wet Spline Lubrication is available as an option, providing 7 to 10 times greater shaft life. SmartStart reduces shock load at start-up for compatible applications, and the Electronic Overspeed Control (EOC) protects driven equipment. Common markets include fire and rescue, refuse, pumper cleaner, and truck cranes. Call us to confirm proper fit for your transmission and application.
