Star Yoke for PTO Shaft
The Star Yoke (star-profile yoke) is a robust PTO driveline component built for star-shaped profile tubes. Its multi-pointed bore geometry distributes torque evenly, reducing localised stress and extending component life. Covering series 6ST through 50ST with bore diameters from 30.2 to 50 mm, it handles medium to heavy-duty applications such as balers, combine headers, and large rotary mowers. Forged from alloy steel and CNC-machined, each star yoke is ready for direct installation on standard European and North American PTO drivelines.
Star Yoke for PTO Shaft – Multi-Point Torque Transfer for Heavy Equipment
Star-profile yoke | Series 6ST–50ST | 30.2–50 mm bore | forged alloy steel
The Ever-power Star Yoke delivers high-capacity torque through its star-shaped bore geometry, distributing loads across multiple contact lobes. This design is favoured for high-torque implements including balers, combine harvesters, large slashers, and industrial mixing equipment. Each yoke is forged, normalised, CNC-machined, and induction-hardened for dimensional precision and long fatigue life.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits
⭐
Multi-Lobe Star Geometry
Distributes torque across multiple lobes, reducing peak stress by up to 30%.
💪
Heavy-Duty Forging
Forged from 42CrMo4 steel and normalised for uniform microstructure.
🔧
Large Bore Range
Bore sizes from 30.2 mm to 50 mm cover medium-duty to industrial-grade drivelines.
🛠️
Drop-In Replacement
Dimensionally interchangeable with major European brands.
⚡
Vibration Dampening
Star profile absorbs torsional vibration spikes during implement engagement.
🔄 Compatibility Information
Fits all star-profile PTO tubes compliant with European standard dimensions. Compatible with Walterscheid W-series, Bondioli & Pavesi, and Comer Industries drivelines. Suitable for round balers, square balers, combine headers, large rotary cutters, wood chippers, and industrial mixers.
📚 Selection Guide
Step 1: Identify the star tube outer diameter and lobe count.
Step 2: Measure dimension A and B to select the series.
Step 3: ST suffix confirms star profile; .06ST is long, .07ST is compact.
Step 4: Verify cross kit cup diameter matches your universal joint.
🌾 Typical Application Scenarios
🌾 Round & Square Balers
Handles high-torque, shock-loaded baling operations.
🌳 Wood Chippers & Shredders
Powers industrial chippers where instant torque spikes are common.
💾 Large Rotary Mowers
Drives wide-deck commercial mowers for roadside maintenance.
🏭 Industrial Mixing Equipment
Continuous heavy-duty operation in feed mills and chemical plants.
🛠️ Installation & Usage Guide
Verify the star tube profile matches the yoke bore.
Clean both the tube and yoke bore thoroughly.
Apply molybdenum disulfide grease to the tube exterior.
Press the yoke onto the tube, rotating slightly to engage all lobes.
Install the cross kit, torque bearing strap bolts to specification.
Grease all fittings and perform a static alignment check.
