pto stands for power take off PTO is a switch control method, mainly used for speed and position control. It is the abbreviation of PTO pulse train output, interpreted as pulse train output.

The main function of PTO is to obtain power from the vehicle chassis system, and then through its own conversion, transmit the power to the vehicle oil pump system through the transmission shaft, and then control the bodywork to complete their special functions.

PTO is used to control stepper motor or servo motor to realize precise position, torque and speed control in automation field. PTO on the truck means auxiliary power take off. After starting the truck and setting the necessary target speed through pto, the engine will stabilize at this speed under the control of the control system, so that the vehicle speed can be kept at the necessary speed, and the vehicle speed will not change even if the accelerator is stepped on.

PTO is a power take-off device, which can also be called a power take-off mechanism. It is composed of gears, shafts, and boxes.

The power output mechanism generally has some special equipment on special-purpose vehicles. For example, the dump mechanism of a dump truck, the lifting mechanism of a lifting truck, the pump of a liquid tank truck, the refrigeration equipment of a refrigerated truck, etc., all need the power of the engine to drive.

The power output device is divided according to the speed of its output power: there are single speed, double speed and three speed.

According to the operation mode: manual, pneumatic, electric and hydraulic. All can be operated by the driver in the cab.
