Splined Yoke 02 – Interfering Bolt Type

splined yoke for pto shaft

Splined Yoke 02 Interfering Bolt – Vibration-Proof Splined PTO End Yoke

Interfering bolt splined yoke | B/D/G/C/E sub-types | Multi-spline options | Semi-permanent retention

Splined yoke for PTO shaft

The Ever-power Splined Yoke 02 utilises an interfering bolt that threads through the yoke body and presses into a dedicated groove on the PTO shaft, creating a semi-permanent connection that resists loosening under the most severe vibration. Available in five sub-type variants (B, D, G, C, E) covering 1 3/8″ Z6, 1 3/8″ Z21, 8-32×38×6, 1 3/4″ Z6, and 1 3/4″ Z20 spline patterns, the 02 series is the definitive choice for fixed-installation drivelines that are rarely disconnected.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🔩

Interfering Bolt Lock

Hardened bolt presses into a shaft groove, creating a semi-permanent hold that cannot vibrate loose.

💪

Five Spline Sub-Types

B (Z6), D (Z21), G (8-32), C (1 3/4″ Z6), E (1 3/4″ Z20) — the widest sub-type coverage in one product family.

⚙️

Positive Shaft Retention

Bolt physically engages a groove, preventing both rotational and axial movement simultaneously.

🛠️

Grade 12.9 Bolt Included

Each yoke ships with the correct high-strength interfering bolt for immediate installation.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Designed for fixed-installation PTO drivelines where the yoke is rarely or never removed after initial setup. The five sub-type variants ensure compatibility with virtually every splined PTO shaft standard in use today, from ASAE 1 3/8″ Z6 to ISO 1 3/4″ Z20. Fits OEM and aftermarket shafts from Walterscheid, Bondioli & Pavesi, Comer, Eurocardan, and Ever-power. Commonly specified for balers, combine header drives, irrigation pumps, and forage harvester drivelines.

📚 Selection Guide

Step 1: Identify your PTO shaft spline pattern (count the splines and measure the shaft OD) to determine which sub-type (B/D/G/C/E) you need.
Step 2: Confirm the shaft has an interfering bolt groove — a small annular channel machined into the shaft body.
Step 3: Cross-reference dimensions A, B, C in the table to select the correct series number.
Step 4: The interfering bolt is included; ensure you have a correctly sized spanner or socket wrench for final tightening.

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

🌾 Round Balers & Square Balers

Semi-permanent connection for drivelines that stay coupled throughout the baling season.

💾 Irrigation Pump Installations

Vibration-proof retention on PTO-driven pump setups that operate continuously for weeks.

🏭 Industrial Mixer Drives

Fixed installations in feed mills and chemical processing plants where downtime for re-tightening is unacceptable.

🌿 Forage Harvesters

High-torque self-propelled and tractor-mounted harvesting equipment operating in demanding conditions.

🛠️ Installation & Usage Guide

1

Confirm the PTO shaft has an interfering bolt groove at the correct position from the shaft end.

2

Slide the yoke onto the splined shaft until the bolt hole in the yoke aligns with the shaft groove.

3

Thread the included interfering bolt through the yoke body and into the shaft groove.

4

Tighten the bolt firmly using a torque wrench — the bolt tip will deform slightly into the groove for positive engagement.

5

Fit the cross-and-bearing kit into the yoke ears and secure with snap rings or bearing straps.

6

Grease all fittings, then run the driveline at low speed to verify zero vibration before full-load operation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What exactly is an interfering bolt?
A high-strength bolt that threads through the yoke and presses into a groove on the PTO shaft, physically preventing the yoke from moving.
▶ How do I remove a yoke with an interfering bolt?
Fully unscrew the bolt. If the bolt tip has deformed into the groove, you may need gentle tapping or heat to release the yoke.
▶ What do the B, D, G, C, E suffixes mean?
B = 1 3/8″ Z6, D = 1 3/8″ Z21, G = 8-32×38×6, C = 1 3/4″ Z6, E = 1 3/4″ Z20.
▶ Is the interfering bolt stronger than a push pin?
The connection is more vibration-resistant and semi-permanent. Yoke body strength is the same within the same series.
▶ Can I reuse the interfering bolt after removal?
If the bolt tip is not heavily deformed, yes. We recommend inspecting the bolt and shaft groove before each reinstallation.
▶ Is the bolt supplied with the yoke?
Yes, each yoke ships with the correct Grade 12.9 interfering bolt pre-packaged.
