What is a Dual-Axle Vehicle?
1 Answers
Dual-axle vehicle is a type of truck with eight tires at the rear and dual-axle drive, distinguishing it from ordinary trucks with four-wheel single-axle drive, hence the name dual-axle. The following is an introduction to related content: 1. Classification: Drive axles are divided into two major categories: non-disconnected and disconnected. 2. Non-disconnected: When the drive wheels use non-independent suspension, a non-disconnected drive axle should be selected. The non-disconnected drive axle is also called an integral drive axle, as its axle tube and main reducer housing are rigidly connected to the axle housing to form an integral beam. Therefore, the half-shafts and drive wheels on both sides swing relative to each other and are connected to the frame through elastic elements. It consists of the drive axle housing, main reducer, differential, and half-shafts. 3. Disconnected: A drive axle that uses independent suspension, meaning the main reducer housing is fixed to the frame, and the half-shafts and drive wheels on both sides can move relative to the vehicle body in the transverse plane, is called a disconnected drive axle.
