12092203 · 2024-09-17 · ·

A planetary gear assembly including an input sun gear; a first plurality of planetary gears driven by the input sun gear; a planet carrier coupled with the first plurality of planetary gears; and an output sun gear wherein rotation of the input sun gear drivingly rotates the planet carrier at a first rotational speed and the output sun gear at a different second rotational speed. An output shaft fixed to the planet carrier and the output sun gear are simultaneously rotated about a common longitudinal axis at the different speeds by rotation of the input sun gear. The output sun gear is accessible through a longitudinal passage in the output shaft. A PTO shaft is drivingly couplable with the output sun gear by inserting a first end of the PTO shaft into longitudinally extending passage or with the planet carrier by inserting the second end of the PTO shaft.

Transmission internal PTO clutch and method of control

A method of selectively controlling a power take-off (PTO) assembly includes positioning a clutch assembly radially between a shaft and a PTO gear, operably controlling the clutch assembly with a controller, and selectively engaging the clutch assembly with the controller. The controller monitors signals received from a plurality of sensors and compares the monitored signals with respective signal thresholds. The clutch assembly is engaged when the compared monitored signals are within the signal thresholds.
