Forged Axle For Semi Trailers
Axle is one of the three core powers of semi-trailers. It performs the functions of bearing weight, driving, and braking. Most of these axles are made of semi-metal graphite composite material. They have high static friction coefficient. In addition, they adopt North American camshaft and switch brake. This allows them to be interchangeable with other brands' trailer axle parts.
Open die forging
Forged parts can be made from many different materials, and can be used in a wide range of applications. These parts are commonly used in the aerospace, , and automotive industries. They are strong, reliable, and inexpensive. Some common applications are axle beams, wheel spindles, shafts, and kingpins.
During the manufacturing process, open die forging is used to create the required shape for the part. This process is used to increase the overall strength and fatigue resistance of the products. This process also helps reduce voids within the product.
Applications
Forged axles can increase the life of semi trailers by up to 30 percent, as compared to welded axles. This technology uses a rubber cartridge inside the axle tube for superior resistance to road elements. This also provides a smooth ride and longer lifespan. Its advanced design offers progressive torque that allows it to maintain its carrying capacity as the load increases.
Custom manufacturers specialize in a variety of products and can provide the right components for your specific needs. Depending on your requirements, they can design and manufacture products from steel castings, aluminum casting, stainless steel, and other materials. They can also provide secondary processes such as annealing, case-hardening, quenching, and stress relieving.
Costs
Choosing axle components for a semi-truck is a very important decision. There are several factors that you need to consider before purchasing these parts. One of the biggest factors is the size of the axle. This is determined by the measurement of the brake shoes and the bearing combination. For example, a 71.5-inch track axle would be the perfect fit for a 96-inch wide trailer, while a 77.5-inch track axle would be best for a 102-inch-wide trailer.
