Q

Characteristics of Direct Drive

A

• It is an efficient method of transmitting power for the reason
that there is minimal losses in the drive train as compared
with the other methods.
• Design is simple with very few moving parts.
• There is a need for a special type of driver machine in order
to provide high-torque output when using low rpm driven
machine.
• It needs a more precise control mechanism.

Applications of Direct Drive

A

• Transmitting power from tractor PTO drive to rotavator,
post-hole digger, power harrows, etc.
• Transmitting power from the engine to the rear wheel
axle of self-propelled farm machines.
• Driving stand-by generator when using internal
combustion engine.
• Driving fans, blowers, and pumps.
• Others
