Brands: Twin Disc

With over $1.2 million in funding from the Department of Energy, the Mirage will be equipped with electric motors and a new reduction gear, aiming for around 20% fuel savings and reduced engine wear. While hybrid propulsion tech is still years from widespread adoption, ALFA's efforts, alongside energy consultant Chandler Kemp, are setting the groundwork for a more efficient and eco-friendly future for the fishing industry.

In this video we review how to check for wear on a drive ring in PTO (Power Take-Off) or any industrial clutch application.

In this video we demonstrate the step-by-step process of installing a 1-piece pilot bearing on a Twin Disc PTO.

In this video we provide a detailed guide on how to install a 2-piece pilot bearing on a Twin Disc PTO.

In this video we review how to install a drive plate to an engine, covering several drive plate types and their specific installation processes for pump drive and gearbox applications.

In this video we demonstrate how to properly align the teeth on split friction plates before installation on a Twin Disc PTO or industrial clutch.

In this video we walk you through the steps for adjusting the main bearings on a PTO, focusing on the differences between inline and side load applications.

In this video we guide you through the proper steps to adjust a clutch on a Twin Disc PTO or industrial clutch.

In this video we explain the importance of applying the correct amount of grease to the main bearings of a Twin Disc PTO, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your equipment.

In this video we cover the essentials of "bumping a clutch," its importance, and how to do it correctly for industrial clutches and PTOs to extend their life and ensure smooth operation.

In this video, Jim from Palmer Johnson Power Systems demonstrates the correct steps to install a support plate on a Twin Disc PTO, discussing the necessary models, installation process, and the importance of proper alignment.

Palmer Johnson Power Systems is proud to support the construction of a new research vessel for the California Polytechnical Institute at Humboldt, which is being built by All American Marine (AAM) in Bellingham, Washington.

The electric propulsion mode will allow the vessel to operate quietly on electric power between 1-6 knots for four hours, and cruise at 20 knots using diesel power. The new boat will have a maximum speed of 23 knots. Utilizing Twin Disc MGX-5075 SC gearboxes.

The 2024 North American Manure Expo was a fantastic opportunity for us at Palmer Johnson Power Systems to connect with our customers in the manure pumping industry.

Palmer Johnson is exhibiting at this year's Manure Expo in Auburn, NY.

Not long ago, a new customer reached out with an urgent request. They needed a marine transmission as soon as possible. The catch? This transmission was for a golf course pontoon ferry boat.

Palmer Johnson Power Systems supplied the Twin Disc Transmissions and controls for the Tiglax Alaskan research vessel. Below you will can read an article originally published by National Fisherman.

Twin Disc has taken its field-proven marine transmissions and created the MGE Series of gearboxes. This design provides power from the motor immediately in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.

A common request we see when working on gearbox and hydraulic pump drive projects is that customers want the ability to connect their gearbox/pump drive with a tractor PTO shaft. The issue is that many manufacturers of pump drives & gearboxes do not offer this as an option, or if they do, it has ridiculously long lead times and a very high price.
