637-9375: Undercarriage Rear Drive Axle

The Rear Undercarriage Drive Axle comprises axle shafts, a differential, and associated components, the rear drive axle acts as a conduit for power transmission from the engine to the rear wheels. It achieves this through the axle shafts connected to the wheels, with the differential allowing for independent wheel rotation during turns. The axle shafts extend from the differential to the wheel hubs, facilitating the transfer of rotational energy to drive the wheels. A key feature of the rear drive axle is the differential, a mechanical device enabling the rear wheels to rotate at varying speeds during turns.

Attributes:
• High strength to withstand stresses and loads.
• Torsional strength to transmit power from the differential to the wheels without undergoing deformation or failure.
• Heat resistance to prevent deformation and damage to the axle.

Applications:
The Rear Undercarriage Drive Axle is used in the rear axle with suspension systems. It is responsible for supporting the transmission of torque from the engine to the wheels and maintaining tire contact with the road.

• Material: Ductile (Spheroidal) Iron
