Power management company Eaton recently announced it will expand its mobile power take-off (PTO) portfolio to include two new Bezares PTO units. These new offerings complement the all-makes portfolio already available for a variety of vehicles and transmissions in operation in North America.

Eaton will distribute the Bezares 95X series four-bolt, rear-mounted PTO for the Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies Endurant 12-speed automated transmission and the new Bezares PTO for the Detroit DT12 automated transmission. The announcements were made at the Heavy-Duty Aftermarket Week show recently in Grapevine, Texas.

Eaton announced in early 2019 its Vehicle Group’s Aftermarket division had reached a distribution agreement with Bezares SA to become the North American master distributor for its mobile power hydraulic portfolio.

“Since introducing our relationship with Bezares a year ago, we worked to quickly ramp up availability of Bezares products and achieved a fully stocked warehouse,” said Tim Bauer, vice president, Aftermarket, Eaton’s Vehicle Group North America. “We also have secured a strong distribution footprint across North America and will continue to build on the momentum throughout 2020. These new offerings show our continued commitment to supporting mobile power hydraulic customers in North America.”

The Bezares 95X series, the lightest and most compact rear countershaft PTO for Endurant in the heavy-duty segment, features pneumatic shifting and is available with three different internal ratios and popular output types. The offset design improves the position of an attached pump to avoid possible interference with other vehicle elements.

The heavy-duty, two-gear 120X series PTO is built from an aluminum housing, coupling heavy-duty strength with light weight, and fits models DT12-DA/14.93-1.0 and DT12-OA/14.96-1.0.

  
Featuring internal ratios from 1:1 to 1:1.8, the 120X PTO series integrates with the auxiliary systems of the DT12 transmission and offers four different output options. The PTO housing is designed to improve clearance and ease of installation, while the DIN output option permits multiple configuration options. A lube pump flange is included with the PTO, simplifying ordering and installation. 

Eaton will add the Bezares portfolio to its online Order Center, which includes real-time inventory visibility, quick and easy ordering, and improved order management, with an anticipated launch in Q2 2020.
