What are the causes of excessive heat in the drive axle?
1 Answers
The causes of excessive heat in the drive axle include: 1. Deterioration of gear oil, insufficient oil quantity, or failure to meet the required specifications; 2. Over-tightened bearing adjustment; 3. Excessively small adjustment of gear meshing clearance and the clearance between planetary gears and axle shafts; 4. Insufficient clearance between thrust washers and the driven gear of the main reducer; 5. Over-tightened oil seals and poor lubrication of moving pairs and bearings, leading to dry (or semi-dry) friction. The drive axle is a mechanism located at the end of the transmission system that can alter the speed and torque from the gearbox and transmit them to the driving wheels. The drive axle consists of the main reducer, differential, wheel transmission device, and drive axle housing, among other components.
