Our partner Walterscheid, a leading innovator in this field, enables us to provide you with unparalleled guidance and access to top-tier Walterscheid PTO shafts.

Choosing the perfect shaft is critical. Rely on our expertise for a step-by-step guide to match your unique needs.
Step 1: Identify the Manufacturer and Universal Joints
Start by identifying the manufacturer of your existing PTO shaft or the one you need to replace. Look for the brand logo on the protective covering. If the brand logo is unreadable or missing, you can still identify the power transmission shaft on the Kramp webshop by referencing the dimensions of the universal joints.
Step 2: Determine the Shaft Type and Accessories
Walterscheid offers a variety of PTO shaft types, each designed to meet specific needs. Your existing shaft might possess a standard type coupling, or it could feature specialized accessories such as friction clutches, safety pins, or freewheeling clutches. Walterscheid's experts will guide you in identifying the exact type, ensuring seamless compatibility with your machinery.
Step 3: Evaluate the Connection Points
For a successful replacement, a thorough understanding of connection points is crucial. This includes:
- Detailed Examination: Carefully inspecting both the driving side (tractor) and driven side (machine) connections.
- Precision Measurements: Meticulously checking dimensions, such as 1 ⅜ inches with 6 splines or 1 ¾ inches with 6 splines.
- Alignment Verification: Ensuring that attachment points align precisely with your specific requirements.
Step 4: Determine the Shaft Length
Accurate shaft length determination is crucial for a precise fit. Measure the distance from the center of one universal joint to the center of the opposing universal joint at the opposite end of the shaft. In cases where traditional measuring is not feasible, simply provide the total shaft length, and Walterscheid's seasoned product specialists will offer their expert insights.
Maintenance: Preserving Your Walterscheid PTO Shafts
Selecting the perfect Walterscheid PTO shaft is just the beginning. Ensuring its longevity and optimal performance requires diligent maintenance, including proper lubrication. Walterscheid's commitment to quality extends to comprehensive maintenance guidance, empowering you to keep your PTO shafts operating at their best.
