<p>A bearing cap 20 used with a power take-off unit 10 includes a body 21 having a relatively large central opening 22 formed therethrough. A first plurality of apertures 25 is formed through the body 21 of the bearing cap 20 about the periphery thereof to secure it to the housing 11 of the power take-off unit 10 and for securing certain types of driven accessory mounting flanges (e.g 31, Figure 5) to the bearing cap 20. A second plurality of apertures 27 is also formed through the body 21 of the bearing cap 20 about the periphery thereof. The second apertures 27 are provided for securing mounting flanges adapters (e.g. 40, Figures 6, 7, 8) to the bearing cap 20 to permit certain other types of driven accessory mounting flanges to be secured thereto. Different bearing caps 20 are provided with differing numbers of these second apertures 27. The mounting flange adapters (40) have a plurality of apertures 45 formed therethrough. In the preferred embodiment, the number of apertures 45 formed through the mounting flange adapter 40 is equal to the product of the number of apertures formed through the bearing caps with which it is to be used. <IMAGE></p> |
