Fixed Axles

Fixed axles

Ideal distribution of loads and suspension movements
The fixed axle connects the wheels through a rigid body. This configuration allows for better distribution of the load and suspension movements, which act simultaneously on both sides of the axle.
 
Drum brakes are a cornerstone of vehicle and road transport history. They easily adapt to any construction requirement, offering high braking capacity even on small wheels and in adverse environmental conditions. They provide smooth and highly sensitive braking.
 
Advantages
SAE-SMB fixed axles are robust and designed for intensive use. Their hollow, forged bodies ensure an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing fuel consumption and increasing payload capacity. This design also facilitates tire pressure maintenance and/or inflation system applications.
Technical features
  • Technical Specifications
    • Ultra-high strength monoblock body: No welds on the axle body, ensuring infinite service life and zero risk of fatigue failure at weld points. The material is a high-strength alloy that increases fatigue life when used according to instructions.
    • New SAE-SMB Outboard Axles: Special outboard design tailored for Brazilian conditions: allows for brake maintenance without contaminating the hub assembly during replacement.
    • Hub lubrication every 20,000 km: Achieved through the specific grease type, high-quality bearings, and precise pre-load torque adjustment of the hub assembly.
    • Proprietary Brake Lining Material: Developed by SAE-SMB to ensure long service life and a high friction coefficient (high braking performance).
    • ABS: Installed or provisioned for future installation.
