There are a variety of industrial applications which involve a high start up inertia. In these cases Power Take-Offs are used to separate the diesel engine from the driven unit. Wenh the engine attains full-operating speed, the driven unit is connected to the diesel engine through the Power Take-offs.

The Power Take-Off is a device which is used between the prime-mover and the driven unit. It acts as a coupling with a disconnect arrangement , which is necessary for the following reasons :

• For the starting of the prime-mover without load.
• For connecting load to the prime-mover , as and when required without stopping the same.
• To facilitate the running of one or both units simultaneously.
