Overview
Product Description
Series 4 Clamp Bolt Splined Yoke is the bolt-secured version of the most widely used PTO yoke series in agricultural machinery. Where the Series 4 Quick Release is the standard for flexible implement change-over applications, the Series 4 Clamp Bolt is the OEM standard for fixed driveline assemblies on rotary cutters, brush hogs, and fertiliser spreaders where the shaft is installed at the factory and remains connected for the entire operating season.
The interfering clamp bolt on Series 4 creates a connection that is immune to push-pin wear, spring fatigue, and retention collar damage — the failure modes that can affect quick release yokes in high-vibration or high-cycle applications. When a rotary cutter operates for 500+ hours in rocky ground conditions, the clamp bolt provides a certainty of engagement that a spring-loaded mechanism cannot match under sustained vibration.
Series 4 clamp bolt is the highest-volume variant in the clamp bolt range, mirroring the dominance of Series 4 quick release in the push-pin range. Both variants use the same 27×74.6 mm cross kit (code 4.01). For distributor and dealer stock pricing, contact Ever-Power Drive Line.
Clamp Bolt Locking Mechanism — Installation Procedure
The interfering clamp bolt bites into the spline bore wall when tightened, creating a mechanically locked connection independent of any spring element.
Clean and Align
Clean the spline bore and PTO stub. Align the yoke spline bore with the stub splines. Slide the yoke fully onto the stub until it is completely seated — no gap between yoke face and stub shoulder.
Insert and Hand-Tighten Bolt
Insert the clamp bolt through the yoke clamp collar. Hand-tighten until the bolt contacts the spline bore wall. Do not use impact tools at this stage — the bolt must be guided in straight.
Torque to Specification
Use a calibrated torque wrench. Tighten to 25–30 Nm for Series 1–5; 35–45 Nm for Series 6–8. Inspect and retorque at first 10 hours, then every 50 hours in high-vibration duty.
⚠ Clamp Bolt vs Quick Release — Choose the Right Locking Type
Clamp bolt: Use when the yoke remains connected for the season — OEM factory-fit, high-vibration implements, applications where removal requires tools by design. Quick release: Use when daily connect/disconnect is required. The cross-kit and dimensional specifications are identical between both variants at Series 4.

Key Features
Interfering Clamp Bolt Lock
The bolt threads into the yoke clamp collar and bites into the spline bore wall when tightened, creating a mechanically interlocked connection. Unlike a spring-loaded push-pin, the clamp bolt connection does not depend on any spring element — there is no spring to fatigue, no collar to wear, and no retention pin to lose in field conditions.
High Vibration Resistance
The bolt-secured connection maintains its clamping force under sustained vibration loads that cycle a push-pin spring mechanism. Specified for rotary cutters, forage harvesters, and high-duty-cycle implements where vibration fatigue is a concern over 300+ hour operating seasons. Retorque inspection at 50-hour intervals ensures sustained clamping force.
1-3/8″ Z6 Spline Bore
Standard 540 rpm agricultural interface — fits all Z6 PTO stubs worldwide. Induction-hardened spline bore for long-term engagement durability.
27×74.6 mm Cross-Kit Seat
Precision-machined cross-kit bearing cup bores hardened to accept 27 mm pin diameter needle-roller cross-kit cups. Cross kit (code 4.01) is shared with the Quick Release version at Series 4 — one part number covers both variants.
20CrMnTi Forged Steel Body
Drop-forged chromium-manganese-titanium alloy steel yoke body, normalised and induction-hardened at the bearing seat bores. Phosphate surface coating provides corrosion resistance in outdoor agricultural conditions. Clamp bolt collar is machined integral with the yoke body — no separate clamp ring to lose or misalign.
CE Certified — LGPD Ready
CE Declaration of Conformity and ISO 9001:2015 documentation included with every shipment. LGPD data handling compliance for Brazil import submissions. SGS third-party inspection available for contract orders.
Typical Applications
Series 4 CB Z6 — permanent-mount tractor-end connection for 28–45 hp implements
Rotary Cutter and Brush Hog — OEM
Series 4 clamp bolt is the factory-standard yoke on rotary cutters and brush hogs. Installed at manufacture, the clamp bolt connection outlasts the push-pin in high-vibration rotary cutter operation.
Finish Mower — Permanent Mount
Finish mower driveline implement-end connections where the shaft is installed at the start of the mowing season and removed only for storage or maintenance.
Fertiliser Spreader — Continuous Duty
High-capacity spreader drive connections running continuous duty across spreading campaigns. Clamp bolt eliminates push-pin spring cycle fatigue in continuous-operation applications.
Installation Steps
Verify Series and Spline
Confirm your PTO shaft is Series 4 (27×74.6 mm cross kit) and your tractor PTO stub is Z6 (1-3/8″ 6-spline). Count the splines to confirm.
Clean Stub and Bore
Remove all rust, debris, and old lubricant from both the PTO stub and the yoke spline bore. Clean mating surfaces ensure maximum contact area and correct bolt seating.
Slide and Seat Yoke
Align splines and push the yoke fully onto the stub until the yoke face contacts the stub shoulder. Full seating is essential before bolt tightening — a partially seated yoke will not lock correctly.
Torque the Clamp Bolt
Insert the clamp bolt and tighten with a calibrated torque wrench to 25–30 Nm (Series 1–5) or 35–45 Nm (Series 6–8). Do not use impact tools. Verify bolt is fully threaded before torquing.
Anchor Shield and Inspect
Connect the shaft safety shield chains to non-rotating points on tractor and implement. Inspect the bolt after the first 10 hours of operation and retorque to specification. Reinspect every 50 hours in high-vibration duty.
