German-style axles have the following advantages:
Lightweight design: The axle heads of German-style axles have a relatively complex shape, generally presenting an irregular conical shape. This design can reduce the self-weight of the axle beam, ensure the lightweight characteristics of the finished product, and thus achieve fuel-saving effects.
Long-term stability: The bearing and axle head have a close clearance fit, resulting in lower resistance, better stability, and closer operating clearance. It has a longer service life and an extended maintenance cycle, making it suitable for long-distance standard-load transportation.
Good heat dissipation performance: The surface of the brake drum of German-style axles is mostly equipped with reinforcing ribs. These reinforcing ribs can increase the air flow speed, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the wheel end, avoid overheating failure of the wheel end, reduce heat fading, and have better high-temperature resistance.
Superior braking performance: The S-shaped cam head design and adjustable brake air chamber slave cylinder holes enable greater braking force and more reasonable distribution of braking force among the front, middle, and rear axles. At the same time, the special formula brake shoes used have a large friction coefficient and high-temperature resistance, which can shorten the braking distance and achieve better braking performance.
High axle beam strength: The axle beam adopts a 1-degree inclined design, which is not easy to bend. When carrying the vehicle, the contact area between the wheels and the ground is larger, resulting in high traction efficiency.
