What is the difference between axle weight and vehicle weight?
1 Answers
Axle weight refers to the weight borne by a single axle, while vehicle weight refers to the total weight of the entire vehicle. The following is a related introduction about axle weight: 1. Introduction to axle weight: Axle weight, also known as axle load, refers to the maximum allowable share of the total vehicle weight that each axle can bear. Axle weight reflects the static load intensity that the track can withstand and determines the average stress level of alternating stresses in various components. 2. The impact of axle weight on wheel dynamic load: The wheel dynamic load increases with the increase of axle weight and tire pressure; the dynamic load coefficient increases with the increase of tire pressure but decreases with the increase of axle weight; the higher the tire pressure, the faster the wheel dynamic load increases with axle weight; using only axle weight is insufficient to evaluate the damage effect of heavy-duty, high-pressure vehicles on the road surface.
