Lemon Yoke for PTO Shaft – Precision Lemon-Profile Driveline Connector

Lemon-shaped profile yoke | Series 1L–36L | 22–36 mm bore | 5-dimension specification

Lemon yoke for PTO shaft

The Ever-power Lemon Yoke features a purpose-designed lemon-shaped bore that mates seamlessly with lemon-profile PTO tubes. Its optimised geometry enables angular misalignment compensation while maintaining a tight, backlash-free connection. Each piece undergoes forging, normalising, CNC machining, and surface treatment for consistent performance across thousands of operating hours.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🍋

Lemon-Profile Precision Bore

CNC-profiled to precisely match lemon-shaped tubes, eliminating slop and ensuring efficient power transfer.

🔨

Drop-Forged Alloy Steel

Forged from 42CrMo alloy steel for exceptional toughness and impact resistance.

🛠️

Extended Dimensional Range

Five dimensions (A–E) per series ensure exact fitment with no guesswork.

Low Rotational Inertia

Optimised wall thickness reduces mass for quicker PTO engagement and lower fuel consumption.

💫

Long Service Intervals

Hardened bearing surfaces and phosphate coating extend service intervals to 500+ hours.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Designed for lemon-profile PTO tubes across European-standard drivelines. Compatible with Comer, Walterscheid, Bondioli & Pavesi, Benzi & Di Terlizzi, and Ever-power. Ideal for rotary tillers, power harrows, feed mixers, manure spreaders, and vineyard equipment.

📚 Selection Guide

Step 1: Measure the lemon tube minor axis (A) and major axis (B).
Step 2: Match to the series table; the ‘L’ suffix denotes lemon profile.
Step 3: Choose .06L for heavy-duty or .07L for compact installations.
Step 4: Verify cross kit compatibility by checking yoke ear bore and spacing (C).

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

🌿 Rotary Tillers & Power Harrows

Drives soil cultivation implements demanding constant, vibration-free torque.

🐄 Feed Mixers & TMR Wagons

Powers mixing augers where smooth engagement protects gearbox internals.

🌾 Manure Spreaders

Connects to beater shafts and spinner mechanisms for fertiliser distribution.

🍇 Vineyard & Orchard Equipment

Compact variants fit narrow-row machinery for pruning and mulching.

🛠️ Installation & Usage Guide

1

Inspect the lemon-profile tube for deformation or excessive wear before fitting.

2

Apply anti-seize compound to the tube surface to prevent fretting corrosion.

3

Align the yoke bore with the tube profile and slide on firmly until seated.

4

Install the universal joint cross kit; secure with snap rings or U-bolt straps.

5

Pump NLGI #2 EP grease through the cross kit zerks until fresh grease appears at all seals.

6

Check that the yoke slides axially with no radial play, then reconnect and test at low RPM.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What distinguishes a lemon yoke from a triangular yoke?
The lemon yoke has an elliptical bore; the triangular has a three-sided bore. They are not interchangeable.
▶ Can I retrofit a lemon yoke onto a star tube?
No — profiles must match exactly. Mismatched profiles cause vibration and premature failure.
▶ What does the ‘L’ suffix mean?
It denotes lemon profile. E.g. 5.06L is a Series 5 lemon yoke with the .06 (long) variant.
▶ How often should I inspect?
Visually every 50 operating hours for cracks or scoring. Replace immediately if cracked.
▶ Do you supply matching lemon tubes?
Yes — we manufacture complete lemon tubes and can supply paired kits.
▶ What is your MOQ for OEM?
Standard MOQ is 100 pieces per series; smaller pilot batches are negotiable.
