Plain Bore Yoke Type D – Keyway & Clamp Bolt
The Plain Bore Yoke Type D combines a keyway with a split-bore clamp bolt, providing both positive torque lock and damage-free axial retention. The clamp compresses the bore onto the shaft for a friction grip that can be released cleanly for reinstallation. Available in series 1 through 8, bores 20–45 mm, it is the preferred choice for rental fleets, test rigs, and any setup requiring repeated assembly and disassembly. Forged alloy steel, CNC-machined, ISO 9001:2015 certified by Ever-power.
Plain Bore Yoke Type D – Keyway & Clamp Bolt – Round Bore PTO Shaft End Yoke
Plain round bore yoke | Type D | Multiple series | Forged alloy steel
The Ever-power Plain Bore Yoke Type D uses a keyway for rotational lock combined with a split-bore clamp bolt for axial retention. The clamp bolt compresses the bore around the shaft, creating a friction grip that holds the yoke firmly without marking or damaging the shaft surface — perfect for applications requiring frequent disassembly and reassembly.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits
🔑
Keyway + Split Clamp
Key prevents rotation; split-bore clamp bolt compresses the bore around the shaft for secure, damage-free axial retention.
🔩
Non-Marking Grip
Clamp applies distributed pressure around the entire bore circumference — no point loading or shaft surface damage.
🔄
Unlimited Reassembly Cycles
Unlike interfering bolts or set screws, the clamp can be tightened and released repeatedly with no wear.
💪
High Clamping Force
Grade 10.9 clamp bolt delivers clamping forces exceeding 15 kN for vibration-proof retention.
🔄 Compatibility Information
Ideal for precision-ground round shafts that must remain undamaged. Works with output shafts from test benches, dynamometers, rental equipment fleets, prototype machinery, and exhibition demonstration units. Also suited for high-value shafts on John Deere, CLAAS, Fendt, and Case IH equipment where the operator wants to preserve the shaft for future refitting.
📚 Selection Guide
Step 1: Measure the shaft diameter with a micrometer — clamp yokes require a tight initial fit (H7/h6).
Step 2: Match bore diameter and keyway width to the specification table.
Step 3: Confirm the clamp bolt torque rating (G column) is adequate for your application load.
Step 4: Use a calibrated torque wrench during installation to achieve the specified bolt tightening torque.
🌾 Typical Application Scenarios
⚙️ Test Rigs & Dynamometers
Damage-free clamping allows rapid shaft changes during powertrain testing.
🔄 Rental Equipment Fleets
Yokes can be removed and refitted across multiple machines without shaft wear.
🌿 Exhibition & Demo Machines
Clean removal leaves shafts unmarked for showroom-quality presentation.
💾 Prototype Development
Supports iterative design changes requiring frequent driveline reconfiguration.
🛠️ Installation & Usage Guide
Loosen the clamp bolt fully and open the split bore to its maximum clearance.
Insert the parallel key into the shaft keyway.
Slide the yoke onto the shaft, aligning the keyway with the key.
Tighten the clamp bolt progressively using a torque wrench to the specified value (refer to product data sheet).
Verify the yoke is rotationally locked (via key) and axially immovable (via clamp).
Fit the cross kit, grease all zerks, and test at idle speed before engaging full PTO RPM.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
⭐ Customer Reviews
★★★★★
We operate a machinery hire business in rural NSW. Type D yokes let us swap drivelines between machines without wrecking the shafts. Game-changer for our fleet.
Brett S. — 🇦🇺 Australia
★★★★★
We use Type D on our engine test dynamometers. Shaft changes in minutes with no surface damage. Superb engineering.
Markus L. — 🇩🇪 Germany
★★★★☆
Excellent clamping force. The included Grade 10.9 bolt inspires confidence. Only wish bore sizes up to 50 mm were offered.
Antoine V. — 🇫🇷 France
★★★★★
Prototype workshop uses these extensively. Unlimited reassembly cycles — exactly what we need for iterative development.
Anjali R. — 🇮🇳 India
★★★★★
Installed on our county fair demonstration tractor. Clean removal after the show — shaft looks brand new.
