BRACKETS

A hydraulic pump is an essential part of any hydraulic system. This pump can be installed on the PTO of the main engine or the
gearbox if this is possible. However, if there is no PTO, or if the PTO does not have an SAE-B or SAE-C flange, it is often possible to
install the pump on the front of the engine using a pump bracket. This is a complicated job, which requires considerable skill and
expertise.

To simplify this task, VETUS has developed pump mounting brackets for a number of popular engines, capable of generating
enough power for PTO operation. For propulsion engines, only large displacement engines are capable to do the job because they
have to generate high power and torque levels on idle for docking and close quarter maneuvering.
For gensets and powerpacks this is not the case since they are allowed to operate in their most efficient rev. range.
We supply an accurate and custom made plate package for the pump bracket, which is pre- drilled and tapped with all necessary
holes. The bracket is supplied un-welded and unpainted. The kit also includes a crankshaft adaptor and a flexible coupling to suit
the hydraulic pump and your particular engine.

Attention: This package includes all the required components, but the installation of a hydraulic pump in this way requires
professional expertise. In some cases small adjustments must be made to the appendages, etc.
Currently available for various engines,prices available on request.
