What are the components of a drive axle?
1 Answers
The components of a drive axle include: reducer, differential, axle shaft, and axle housing group. The functions of the drive axle are: 1. Transmit the engine torque from the universal transmission device to the drive wheels through the main reducer, differential, and axle shaft, achieving speed reduction and torque increase; 2. Change the direction of torque transmission through the bevel gears of the main reducer; 3. Achieve differential action, ensuring that the inner and outer wheels turn at different speeds; 4. Provide load-bearing and torque transmission. The drive axle is a mechanism located at the end of the transmission system that can change the speed and torque from the transmission. It is divided into: non-disconnect drive axles and disconnect drive axles.
