what exactly is the 8-groove clutch from permco used for on a hydraulic setup?
Question by: Harold R on Aug 20, 2025, 5:02 PM
Clutches like this one connect and disconnect the hydraulic pump from the power source, usually a PTO or engine drive. The 8-groove spec refers to the belt groove configuration on the clutch pulley, which has to match your belt count and profile to work right. Permco builds these for demanding hydraulic drive applications, so it's a solid fit anywhere you need reliable engagement and disengagement of pump power without shutting down the whole system.
