ASABE Revises Drive Shaft Standard

ASABE has announced the completion of ANSI/ASAE S331.6, Implement Power Take-off Drive Shaft Specifications.

This standard establishes multiple categories of universal-joint drive shafts with two subsets of telescoping members each, one heavy duty and one regular duty. The revision updates the normative references and terminology and includes categories and test parameters for type-4 power take-offs.

ASABE members with standards access and those with site-license privileges can access the full-text of the standard by electronic download in about two weeks. Location for the download is on the ASABE online Technical Library at: elibrary.asabe.org.

Others can obtain a copy for a fee directly from the library or by contacting ASABE headquarters at OrderStandard@asabe.org. S
