    An axle is a central shaft that supports rotating wheels. On vehicles, the axle can be fixed to the wheels and rotate with them, or fixed to the vehicle with the wheels rotating around it. Bearings are provided where the axle is mounted. The document then discusses different types of rear axles like full floating, semi floating, and three quarter floating axles. It also covers front axles, describing them as either dead or live axles. Finally, it lists the four main types of stub axles used to connect front wheels to a vehicle's front axle.

    ➢ An axle is a central shaft for a rotating wheel or gear.

    ➢ On wheeled vehicles, the axle may be fixed to the wheels,


    rotating with them, or fixed to the vehicle, with the wheels
    rotating around the axle.

    ➢ Bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points


    where the axle is supported.

    FORCES ON REAR AXLE

    ❖ Weight of the body


    ❖ Driving Thrust

    ❖ Torque reaction

    ❖ Side Thrust
    With a semi floating axle, the axle shaft both
    carries the weight and transmits torque
    The wheel is often bolted directly to the flange
    on the axle
    Semi float axles are seen on cars and light duty
    trucks
    Semi floats are more limited in capacity, but
    lighter and cheaper to manufacture.
    The weight of the axle is supported by the axle
    housing-more specifically, a bearing spindle
    attached to the axle housing, and a set of
    bearings in a separate wheel hub.
    Torque is transmitted by a separate axle shaft
    that carries no weight.
    As commonly built, full-floaters are
    considerably heavier, but also much stronger.
    This type of axle is a combination of full and semi floating
    bearing.
    In this bearing is locating between the axle casing and hub
    axle shaft do not have to withstand any shearing or bending
    action due to the weight of the vehicle, which are taken up by
    the axle casing through hub and bearing.
    However it has to take the end loads and driving torque.
    A three quarter floating axle is same as semi floating with one
    difference. The outer bearing is moved to the outside of the
    outer end of the axle tube, supporting hub assembly via the
    bearing’s outer circumference edge.
    Different types of Rear axles
    Front wheels of the vehicle are mounted
    on front axles .

    It supports the weight of front part of the vehicle.


    It facilitates steering.
    It absorbs shocks which are transmitted due to road
    surface irregularities.
    It absorbs torque applied on it due to braking of
    vehicle.
    Dead axles are those
    axles, which do not
    rotate.
    These axles have
    sufficient rigidity and
    strength to take the
    weight.
    The ends of front axle
    are suitably designed to
    accommodate stub
    axles.
    Live axles are used to
    transmit power from gear
    box to front wheels.
    Live front axles although,
    resemble rear axles but they
    are different at the ends
    where wheels are mounted.
    Maruti-800 has line front
    axle.
    Stub axles are connected to the front axle by king pins. Front
    wheels are mounted on stub axles arrangement for steering.
    Stub axle turns on king pins. King pins is fitted in the front
    axle beam eye and is located and locked there by a taper cotter
    pin. Stub axles are of four types:

    Elliot
    Reversed Elliot
    Lamoine
    Reversed Lamoine
