Foley Engines in addition to WPT, Twin Disc, Rockford, and Autoclutch, now represents Stein Manufacturing, the manufacturer of Stein PTO Clutches. A Stein Clutch is an automotive-style PTO assembly found commonly on wood chippers and other industrial applications. Unlike a WPT or Twin Disc over-center clutch, which have a ‘clutch pack’ with usually a single or double row of ‘teeth’ captured by cast iron backing plates with a bronze collar ‘release bearing’. A Stein Clutch as, an automotive clutch, has a disc and pressure plate. As an automotive style industrial clutch the Stein clutch is similar to the AutoClutch HD1300D clutch.
We stock kits for Stein clutches. These kits include a pilot bearing, clutch disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, an installation tool, and a Foley booklet on PTO maintenance. For severe duty applications such as a wood chipper, we offer an optional disc. This heavy duty disc features a carbon ceramic disc which will engage more smoothly and last significantly longer.
