Twin Disc Pump Drive Models / Technodrive Pump Drives
The modular design of these pump drives enables you to choose from several input options, including a rubber block drive, or clutch to match your SAE engine flywheel dimensions. Independent mounting is also an option, both direct and with a clutch.
For your pump mounting requirements, Twin Disc offers standard SAE adaptor kits as well as a wide variety of non-SAE adaptations for your special needs.
With models having one, two, three, four or six pump pads, Twin Disc is sure to have a pump drive to complement your hydraulic application. For your convenience, the number of pump pads is indicated by the first numeral after the "AM" designation in the pump drive model numbers. Models AM 232, AM 365, AM 450, and AM 480 also have additional pump pads available on the input side of the pump drives.
