"Axle" and "axle assembly" look only one word difference, sound like the same item, even some encyclopedia platforms will confuse it. But in fact, the two are not the same thing. Next, we will tell you a brief popularization.

Generally speaking, the components of commercial vehicles can be divided into four categories, namely: engine, electrical equipment, body and chassis. The most complex is the chassis, which is divided into four systems: transmission, driving, steering and braking.

Among them, the driveline is a power transmission system, that is, the power of the engine is transmitted to the wheels to drive the vehicle; The driving system is a weight-bearing system that enables the vehicle to carry heavy loads. The steering system and the brake system are the systems that control the vehicle, and the driver can operate the vehicle through these two systems. What we call "axle", "axle", "suspension" and "frame" basically belong to the driving system.

Trailer axle is a very important part of the trailer, bearing the trailer's driving, steering, load-bearing, driving and other functions, can be said to be the trailer's walking system.
