Plain Bore Yoke Type F – Vertical Pin Hole

The Plain Bore Yoke Type F features a vertical (axial) pin hole for shaft retention in tight spaces where side access is blocked. The pin is inserted from the yoke face rather than the side, solving clearance issues common in compact machinery and enclosed driveline housings. Available across series 1 through 8 with bores from 20 to 45 mm, pin sizes 6–13 mm. Forged alloy steel, CNC-machined, heat-treated. Supplied by Ever-power with ISO 9001:2015 quality assurance.

Plain bore yoke for PTO shaft

The Ever-power Plain Bore Yoke Type F features a vertically oriented pin hole — running parallel to the shaft axis rather than perpendicular. This design is specifically engineered for installations where side access is restricted by guards, housings, or adjacent components. A roll pin or dowel pin is driven in from the yoke face, passing through the yoke wall and into a matching hole in the shaft end.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🔨

Vertical Pin Orientation

Pin hole runs axially (from the yoke face), eliminating the need for side access during installation.

🔄

No Side Protrusion

Unlike transverse pin designs, nothing protrudes from the yoke side — reducing the risk of catching on guards or housings.

💪

Roll Pin or Dowel Pin

Accepts both spring roll pins (for quick field replacement) and precision dowel pins (for permanent installations).

⚙️

Compact Envelope

Vertical pin does not increase the yoke’s radial footprint, making it ideal for enclosed or semi-enclosed drivelines.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Engineered for compact tractor PTOs, enclosed driveline housings, and machinery with limited radial clearance. Fits round shafts from compact tractors by Kubota, Iseki, Yanmar, John Deere Compact Utility, and industrial drives where safety shields or gearbox housings prevent side-access pin installation. Also used on marine PTO drives and mobile hydraulic power units.

📚 Selection Guide

Step 1: Confirm that side access is restricted and a vertical pin approach is required.
Step 2: Measure the shaft diameter and the existing vertical pin hole diameter (if pre-drilled).
Step 3: Select the correct bore and pin size from the specification table.
Step 4: Choose roll pin (removable) or dowel pin (semi-permanent) based on expected service frequency.

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

⚙️ Compact Tractor PTO

Fits tight PTO compartments on sub-compact and compact utility tractors where guards limit side access.

🚢 Marine PTO Drives

Enclosed engine compartments on boats leave no room for side-installed pins.

💾 Mobile Hydraulic Power Packs

Skid-mounted units with integrated guards around the driveline.

🌿 Greenhouse & Nursery Equipment

Small-frame equipment in confined greenhouse environments.

🛠️ Installation & Usage Guide

1

Confirm the shaft end has a matching vertical pin hole; if not, drill using a lathe or drill press for concentricity.

2

Slide the yoke onto the shaft until the vertical holes align — use a alignment punch to verify.

3

Drive the roll pin or dowel pin into the hole from the yoke face using a pin punch and mallet.

4

Ensure the pin sits below the yoke face surface to avoid interference with the cross kit.

5

Fit the cross kit into the yoke ears and secure with snap rings.

6

Apply grease, rotate the driveline by hand to confirm free movement, then engage the PTO at low speed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ Why choose Type F over Type A (transverse pin)?
Type F’s vertical pin does not require side access and does not protrude radially, solving clearance issues in tight installations.
▶ Can I use a standard roll pin?
Yes — ISO 8752 spring roll pins in the correct diameter are compatible.
▶ Is Type F as strong as Type A?
For torque transmission, both are similar. Type F’s pin shear area is oriented differently, so consult our engineering team for high-torque applications.
▶ What if the pin works loose?
Use a slight interference fit on the pin diameter, or apply retaining compound (Loctite 640) for permanent installations.
▶ Available with a keyway as well?
For combined keyway + vertical pin, consider a custom modification. Contact us for options.
▶ Minimum order?
No minimum for standard catalogue sizes. Custom pin diameters start at 50 pieces.

⭐ Customer Reviews

★★★★★

Type F solved our clearance problem on a Kubota B-series PTO. No room for a side pin, but the vertical approach works perfectly.

— 🇦🇺 Australia

★★★★☆

Good niche product. The vertical pin hole was accurately drilled and concentric. Would appreciate a larger bore range.

— 🇩🇪 Germany

★★★★★

Used on our marine PTO drive — the enclosed engine bay left no side access. Type F was the only option and it performed flawlessly.

— 🇫🇷 France

★★★★★

200 units for our mobile hydraulic power pack assembly. Vertical pin design saves assembly time when guards are pre-installed.

— 🇮🇳 India

★★★★☆

Solid product for a specific need. If you have clearance problems, Type F is the answer.
