What is the maximum weight of a lightweight trailer axle?
Trailer lightweight can be said to be a commonplace topic, especially in the current super efforts to increase the implementation of the weight charge policy under the conditions, how to transport more goods within the legal scope has become a concern of owners, more and more owners in the purchase of trailers or accessories, began to tend to those lighter weight products.
Under normal circumstances, the trailer wants to achieve lightweight, there are the following common ways:
1, the use of lighter weight materials, such as aluminum alloy instead of steel, common like aluminum alloy body, aluminum alloy transmission, aluminum alloy drive shaft, aluminum alloy fuel tank, aluminum alloy rim, etc.;
2, the vehicle appearance and interior parts use new materials, such as long fiber reinforced materials, low density PP materials, low VOC green materials, spray free materials, halogen-free flame retardant materials, etc.;
3, reduce the thickness of the plate, the use of higher standards, greater strength, better toughness of steel;
4, lightweight trailer girder, such as the use of special-shaped punching, reduce the height of the vertical plate and the width of the upper and lower wings;
5, choose a lighter trailer axle, or disc brake bridge;
6, with air suspension instead of steel plate suspension, its own weight is lighter, but also in the appropriate time to achieve the rear axle lifting, full energy saving and efficiency;
7, reduce the weight of accessories, such as bumper, protective net, spare tire bridge, toolbox, tarpaulin frame, etc.;
8, starting from the wheel end, such as using a large single instead of twin, the weight loss effect is also very considerable;
9, integrated parts integration, such as integrated car chip, integrated fuel tank urea tank, integrated electric steering gear, ABS integrated valve, etc., by increasing the function of parts to reduce the number of parts, multiple parts to achieve integration integration, make the vehicle structure more compact, to reduce the weight of the body.
Although the purpose of pursuing lightweight is to make the vehicle achieve "DORA good province", many owners will also be wondering in their hearts: such a trailer, the "skin" is thin and light, and the bearing capacity and safety performance can not be guaranteed? Just like the light trailer axle mentioned above, how much weight can it bear?
Similar to the way the trailer lightweight, the trailer axle wants to obtain a smaller weight, either from the raw materials, such as the use of new materials or high-strength steel instead of traditional steel; Either start from the thickness, such as the shaft beam wall thickness, brake drum wall thickness, friction plate wall thickness should be reduced appropriately; Or choose lighter parts, such as bearings, brake discs, wheels, bearings, bolts, etc.
As we all know, the trailer axle is the key load-bearing component of the trailer, when its self-weight becomes smaller, will it have a certain impact on its load-bearing force? To tell the truth, unless it is the application of genuine new materials or high-strength steel, it will have an impact on the bearing, but this impact will not interfere with the normal use of the owner.
Why do you say that?
In the past freight industry, the relevant governance measures are not strict, the overload phenomenon is very common, in this context, the bearing capacity of the axle is a major issue of concern to the owners, the trailer axle factory in the production of the axle has to consider the needs of the environment, not only need to bear the weight of the load, and even in excess of the weight of 50% of the load to maintain stable performance. So at that time, there was no concept of lightweight axle, and the load-bearing capacity was a good trailer axle.
Nowadays, the control of super efforts is becoming increasingly strict, the activity space of overloading vehicles in the market is gradually compressed, and even the high-speed has gradually become a luxury. Regulations on the vehicle + cargo total weight limit gives a clear regulation, body weight and cargo weight is inversely proportional to the trend, when the body weight is smaller, the owner can get a higher load of goods. In addition, more and more owners began to return to the standard load transport, as long as the axle can meet the standard load bearing, which compared with the previous load bearing needs, can be said to have declined a lot. Therefore, even the lightweight axle, as long as it meets the model and tonnage, the owner strictly follows the standard loading, and does not overload transportation, basically can meet the needs of use.
Not only is the lightweight axle, other lightweight components such as air suspension, but also the loading requirements of the vehicle are very strict, once it exceeds the bearing range, it is likely to directly "lie down". Some heavy trailers, such as vehicles that transport wood, steel coils, coal and other goods, need to be careful about the choice of lightweight components, must not blindly follow the masses, and the main load-bearing axle or steel plate suspension may be more suitable. Of course, from the perspective of the transportation environment, energy saving and emission reduction is the trend, perhaps with the continuous development and improvement of relevant technologies, the defects of lightweight trailers or components are gradually overcome, and its application will be more and more extensive.
