An integrated gear and torsional vibration damper assembly () includes a gear () having a toothed portion () and a torsional vibration damper () supported on the gear () for limited rotational and dampened movement relative to each other. The gear () may include a hub portion (), and the torsional vibration damper () may be supported on the hub portion () of the gear (). Alternatively, the gear () may include a hub portion (), an intermediate ring () may be supported on the hub portion () of the gear (), and the torsional vibration damper () may be supported on the intermediate ring (). Alternatively, the gear () may include a toothed portion () and a hub portion () that extends radially inwardly from the toothed portion () and has an opening () extending therethrough, and the torsional vibration damper () may extend through the opening (). Alternatively, the gear () may include an inner circumferential surface that engages and supports an outer circumferential surface of the torsional vibration damper ().

Integrated gear and torsional vibration damper assembly

A combined power take off and controller includes a power take off including a housing that is adapted to be supported on a housing of a source of rotational energy, an input mechanism that extends through an opening provided in the housing and is adapted to be rotatably driven by the source of rotational energy whenever the source of rotational energy is operated, and an output mechanism that is rotatably driven by the input mechanism and that is adapted to be connected to a rotatably driven accessory. The controller is responsive to one or more operating conditions of the power take off for monitoring and/or controlling the operation thereof.
