The Chelsea 282GCAJX-B3XD or 282GCAJXB3XD is an 8-bolt, medium-duty hot-shift power take-off from the Chelsea 282 Series. It supports both pneumatic and PowerShift (pneumatic/hydraulic) engagement, with an integral air valve built in. The 1-1/4" round output shaft accepts a 5/16" key. Intermittent torque capacity runs 201-300 lb-ft (401-500 Nm), and continuous torque is rated up to 300 lb-ft (407 Nm) - check application pages for actual torque ratings for your specific installation. Shaft power output is 29 HP at 500 RPM and 57 HP at 1,000 RPM. Common applications include aerial, construction equipment, towing and recovery, water trucks, and fuel oil delivery. Call us to confirm proper fit for your application.

The 282 Series is a redesign of Chelsea's medium-duty hot-shift PTO line, combining the 238 Series with updated components. The series offers nine speed ratios and 18 shift options. Direct-mount outputs include an optional wet-spline design for extended PTO and pump shaft service life. Driveshaft output configurations include a positive stop to prevent seal damage from driveshaft yokes. Typical markets include aerial, construction equipment, towing and recovery, water trucks, home fuel oil delivery, material handling, and defense applications.
