HT/S SD is the OEM specification after May 2016. Kysor conversion kits let fleets fit an HT/S in place of a Kysor or DMA-2S drive.
How it works
How It Protects Itself
System Sentry®
The piston friction disc carries Horton’s patented System Sentry. If heat builds up from slipping or a blocked fan, it releases and disengages the drive before the cooling system is badly damaged.
Longer-Life Air Cartridge
A carbon-tip cartridge with a double O-ring air seal reduces the chance of air leaks.
Why the HT/S
Built for Road Trains
High-Temp Seals
Blue HNBR D-ring and O-ring seals on SD, OB and SOB drives.
Outback Bearing
Higher-temperature Outback fine spline bearing assembly.
Finned Discs
OB (red) and SOB (green) friction discs shed more heat.
Premium SOB
Single higher-temperature Outback DRAC pulley bearing for severe duty.
