    摘要: A vibration-reducing portal box assembly for mounting a wheel of an off-road vehicle includes a housing with a receptacle adapted to receive a stock axle shaft of an off-road vehicle, an output shaft operably connectable to a stock axle received in the housing and effective to rotate upon rotation of said stock axle, and a wheel hub having a central opening adapted to receive said output shaft, and adapted to turn a wheel mounted to said wheel hub upon rotation of said output shaft. The output shaft has a tapered portion connecting its proximal end to its distal end. The wheel hub has a tapered portion adapted to matingly receive the tapered portion of the output shaft. The output shaft may be connected to the stock axle shaft by a geared linking mechanism.

    摘要: A mounting system for a portal lift assembly of an off-road vehicle includes a housing having a rear wall, a front wall, and a side wall. The rear wall includes an opening to receive the end of one of the vehicle's axles, and the front wall includes an opening to allow an output shaft to extend outward from the housing. The rear wall also includes one or more integral mounting brackets effective to mount the box to the suspension of the vehicle. Such integral mounting brackets may include an upper A-arm connection bracket to connect the upper A-arm directly to the rear wall, and/or a lower A-arm connection bracket to connect the lower A-arm directly to the rear wall. When the wheel is a steerable wheel, the rear wall also may include an integral mounting bracket effective to allow a steering linkage to connect directly to the rear wall.

    摘要: A portal box assembly for mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in a lifted and extended wheelbase position. The assembly includes a portal gear box having an input shaft opening for an input shaft, and an output shaft extending from an output shaft opening. The portal gear box also includes a set of gears effective to transmit power from the input shaft to the output shaft, and optionally to reduce the gear ratio. The assembly is mountable to the vehicle in an extended wheelbase position in which the output shaft is positioned below and forward of the input shaft when the assembly is used to mount a forward wheel, and in which the output shaft is positioned below and rearward of the input shaft when the assembly is used to mount a rear wheel.

    摘要: A method for servicing a portal gear box assembly and/or a braking system is disclosed. The method includes removing the wheel hub from the output shaft, removing the front cover from the housing of the assembly, and removing the clutch pack. The portal gear box/braking assembly is serviced and the clutch pack is installed over the output shaft, the place plate is re-installed, and the wheel hub is installed onto the output shaft. The portal gear box of the present disclosure includes a clutch pack comprising a first and second set of clutch plates interspersed between each other. The first set of clutch plates configured to rotate with rotation of the output shaft and the second set configured to not rotate. The clutch pack is compressible by a hydraulic piston and pressure plate, compressing the sets of the clutch plates reducing the rotation of the output shaft.

    摘要: A portal gear box assembly for an all-terrain vehicle includes a sealed portal gear box housing having an interior housing space that contains a set of gears for linking an axle to an output shaft. An expandable space is in fluid communication with the interior housing space, and is adapted to allow pressurized fluid contained in the interior housing space to flow into the expandable space, thus expanding the volume of the expandable space and reducing the pressure within the interior housing space. The expandable space may be provided in the form of a bellows whose volume can be changed by expansion or contraction of a fluid contained therein. A fluid is contained within the portal gear box housing and within the expandable space.
    The expandable space may be mounted externally to the portal gear box housing, and may be connected to the portal gear box housing by a conduit effective for allowing fluid to pass between the portal gear box housing and the expandable space. The expandable space and its connecting conduit are effective for allowing air to flow from within the portal gear box housing to the expandable space when an increased air pressure within the portal gear box is encountered, thus mitigating against a build-up of air pressure within the portal gear box housing.

    摘要: An adjustable portal box assembly for selectively mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in either of two positions. The assembly includes a mounting plate mountable to the suspension of an off road vehicle, and a portal box is mountable to the mounting plate. The portal box includes an input shaft opening for an input shaft, and an output opening for an output shaft. The portal box is mountable to the mounting plate in a first position in which the output shaft is positioned to extend the wheelbase relative to the input shaft, or in a second position in which the output shaft is positioned in vertical alignment with the input shaft.
