Overview
ISO 7804:1985 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the dimensions of side openings for power take-offs (PTOs) on commercial road vehicles, specifically trucks and tractors. The standard applies to the general installations of PTOs on the transmission gearboxes of trucks and tractors, provided the transmission size allows for these openings. It ensures uniformity and compatibility in PTO interface dimensions, facilitating easier installation, maintenance, and operational safety of PTO components across different vehicle manufacturers and models.
This standard is essential for vehicle manufacturers, gearbox producers, and body builders who design and install PTO systems, ensuring interoperability and adherence to global practices in commercial vehicle design.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
ISO 7804:1985 covers side openings on commercial road vehicles that accommodate power take-offs mounted on transmission gearboxes. It applies where transmission size permits and covers typical configurations on trucks and tractors.Side Opening Types
The standard defines two main types of side openings based on their intended duty and bolt specifications:- Type R (Regular Duty) with 6 bolts M10
- Subtypes R1 and R2 differ by gear depth specifications.
- Type H (Heavy Duty) with 8 bolts M12
- Subtypes H1 and H2 designate different gear depths.
- Type R (Regular Duty) with 6 bolts M10
Gear Depth Definitions
Gear depth refers to the distance from the transmission face to the pitch line of the PTO drive gear, defined specifically for each subtype.Dimensional Specifications
The standard provides detailed dimensional drawings illustrating exact measurements, locations of bolt holes, dowel holes, and shape profiles to ensure interchangeability. It also clarifies that gearbox manufacturers specify gear data and backlash.Designation System
A standardized naming convention for PTO openings helps in classification and identification, such as ISO 7804-R1 for a 6 bolt M10 side opening with a specific gear depth.
Applications
Truck and Tractor Manufacturing
Vehicle manufacturers use ISO 7804 to design transmission gearboxes that accommodate standard PTO fittings, enabling compatibility with a wide range of auxiliary equipment such as pumps, winches, and compressors.PTO Equipment Design
Manufacturers of power take-off components rely on these dimensional standards to create devices that fit universally in line with ISO specifications.Maintenance and Repair
Service providers benefit from standardized dimensions when replacing or modifying PTO side openings on trucks or tractors, reducing downtime and simplifying parts sourcing.Custom Vehicle Body Building
Bodybuilders who fit specialized bodies and PTO-driven implements for commercial vehicles ensure compliance with ISO 7804 to maintain system integrity and enhance operational safety.
Related Standards
ISO/TC 22 - Road Vehicles
ISO 7804 was developed by this technical committee managing standards related to commercial road vehicles, indicating potential cross-references to other vehicle component standards.Gearbox and Transmission Standards
While ISO 7804 focuses on the PTO side opening dimensions, related ISO standards cover gearbox design, power transmission, and mounting interfaces that coordinate with this specification.Vehicle Power Take-Off Standards
Other industry standards address PTO operational performance, mechanical strength, and safety requirements complementing the dimensional focus of ISO 7804.
Adhering to ISO 7804:1985 ensures that truck power take-offs have standardized side openings, enhancing equipment compatibility, simplifying installations, and supporting international harmonization in commercial vehicle design. This promotes operational efficiency and safer integration of PTO-driven systems in the trucking and agricultural machinery industries.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 7804 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22,
Road vehicles.
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
Jatest edition, unless otherwise stated. -
