摘要:
An axle system (12) includes an axle lubrication level (A1) within an axle housing (16) which is lower than a wheel end lubrication level (W1) within the wheel end assemblies (14A,14B). An opening (48) through the wheel end assembly housing (46A) provides a fluid communication path between the wheel end assembly (14A) and the axle housing (16). A differential assembly rotates adjacent an opening (48) such that lubrication at the wheel end lubrication level (W1) is rotated into the opening (48). The lubricant within the wheel end assemblies (14A,14B) is maintained at the wheel end lubrication level (W1). The shaft (34) enters the wheel end assembly housing (46A) through a shaft opening (49A) which provides a communication path for the lubricant from the wheel end assembly (14A) back into the axle housing (16).
摘要:
A loose wheel detection assembly includes a sensor assembly secured to a mounting hub (12). The sensor (26) detects relative movement between the hub (12) and the wheel (14) and emits a signal indicative of the sensed movement. The signal is received by a controller (46) that processes the received information and alerts a vehicle operator of the relative movement through a warning device (48) within the vehicle cabin.
