What is the tonnage of a 1080 rear axle?
1 Answers
1080 is an 8-ton rear axle. The rear axle refers to the rear drive shaft component of the vehicle's power transmission system, which consists of two half-axles that enable differential movement. It also serves as a device to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels. The front and rear axles refer to the parts of the front and rear wheel axles. The front axle includes components such as shock absorber springs, steering gear, and balance shafts, while the rear axle also includes the drive shaft and transmission gears. The front axle of a vehicle is not a drive axle, whereas the rear axle is the drive axle, which not only bears the load but also functions in driving, deceleration, and differential action. For four-wheel-drive vehicles, a transfer case is additionally installed in front of the rear axle. Rear axles are categorized into solid axles and semi-axles, with solid axles paired with non-independent suspensions and leaf spring suspensions, and semi-axles paired with independent suspensions and MacPherson strut suspensions.
