What is a Drive Axle Composed Of?
1 Answers
Drive axle is composed of main reducer, differential, half shaft, and axle housing. 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 half 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 function, ensuring that the inner and outer wheels turn at different speeds; 4. Bear loads and transmit torque. The drive axle is a mechanism located at the end of the transmission system that can change the speed and torque from the transmission. Drive axles are divided into: non-disconnect drive axles and disconnect drive axles.
