Knowledge of trailer axle

Trailer axle (also known as axle) with the help of suspension and frame (or load-bearing body) connected together, two end assembly tire. Its function is to transmit the forces in all directions between the frame (or load-bearing body) and the tire.

The axle can be integral, just like a huge barbell, and its two ends support the body with the help of suspension system, so the integral axle generally cooperates with the non independent suspension; The axle can also be disconnected, like two umbrellas inserted on both sides of the body, and then support the body with the help of the suspension system, so the disconnected axle is used with a separate suspension.

According to the different driving modes, axles are also divided into steering axle, drive axle, steering drive axle and support axle. The steering axle and the supporting axle belong to the driven axle. Most cars use front rear drive (FR), so the front axle is used as the steering axle and the rear axle as the drive axle; On the other hand, the front axle becomes the steering drive axle and the rear axle acts as the support axle. www.chinaaxle.cn
