What is the Drive Axle Generally Composed Of

[VonJake]

Drive axle is generally composed of components such as the main reducer, differential, axle shafts, and axle housing. Additional Information: 1. Functions of the Drive Axle: Transmit the engine torque from the universal drive assembly to the driving wheels through the main reducer, differential, and axle shafts, achieving speed reduction and torque increase. The direction of torque transmission is altered via the bevel gears of the main reducer. 2. Classification of Drive Axles: (1) Non-independent Type: The non-independent drive axle, also known as a solid axle, is used when the driving wheels employ a non-independent suspension system. (2) Independent Type: When an independent suspension is used, where the main reducer housing is fixed to the frame and the axle shafts and driving wheels on both sides can move relative to the vehicle body in the transverse plane, it is referred to as an independent drive axle.
