Is the drive shaft and the drive axle the same thing?

In the heavy engineering industry, the terms "drive shaft" and "leading bridge" are often mixed, which leads to misunderstandings between customers and engineers. The drive shaft is divided into a drive shaft with a solid shaft and a drive shaft depending on the shape of the cross section. There are many methods of classifying leading bridges. In the field of construction equipment, there are a leading bridge of the loader, the leading bridges of the excavators, the grader bridge and so on. Moreover, these two components are necessary for transmitting energy to vehicles and equipment, their functions are very different. In this article, we will explain the difference between them and their role in construction equipment, agricultural equipment and mining equipment.

Drive shaft:A rotating tubular element that transfers torque from the engine/gearbox to the drive axis. It is usually used in vehicles where the power system is separated from wheels, such as trucks and tractors.

Leading bridge:a rigid assembly that not only transmits power but also supports the weight of the vehicle and connects the wheels. It has differential gears built into it, allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds, such as in forklifts or dump trucks.

The drive shaft is mainly used for vehicles with a long wheelbase, while the leading bridge is the main component of heavy equipment and should have a high carrying capacity, for example, excavators and combines. The drive shaft and the leading axis are not the same concept. The right selection of components can significantly increase the productivity and life of the equipment. bridges for construction equipment, agricultural machinery and mining equipment, we explain these differences and help customers choose more suitable components. The high -production leading bridges of Shandong Lutong are developed for extreme operating conditions and meet the most stringent requirements in terms of durability and efficiency. To concerns individual decisions, please, please Check out our assortment of products for leading bridges developed for industrial conditions.

Based on the advantages of industrial production industry in Shandun province, Shandong Lutong created the research center and introduced the production and test equipment of the world class. The team of engineers constantly overcame technical difficulties and achieved many achievements in the field of material science, thermal processing and optimization of structures. Structures and intellectual production technology each leading axle has excellent fatigue strength and long service life. Nesh products have passed accurate calculations and thorough tests and can adapt to various difficult working conditions, such as high loading, severe environmental conditions, etc., which significantly increases the life of the equipment.

A full range of grocery matrices suitable for various scenarios of application

For the production of construction equipment, Shandong Lutong has developed a series of products, such as the leading bridge of the loader, the leading bridges of the excavators and the grader bridge. The leading bridge of the loader is equipped with a patented design of the end of the shaft and a double -mode digital gear hug technology, the transmission efficiency reaches 96%, and the noise level does not exceed 85555 Decibel, which allows you to adapt to difficult working conditions on large -scale infrastructure projects in Siberia, Russia.

In the field of agricultural engineering, the drive bridges of tractors are produced by a capacity of 350 to 430 horsepower, which is especially effective when moving along the crazy fields and hilly terrain. The use of the hermetic brake system and anti -corrosion coating allows you to effectively withstand the mud and water erosion during agricultural work, and the maintenance cycle is increased 1.5 times 1.5 times increased by 1.5 times. Compared to traditional products. The leading bridge of the T400 tractor, made specifically for Russia, was exported to the company PTZ, a large Russian equipment manufacturer, and we have concluded long -term cooperation with IT for the supply of PTZ products with a zero level of accident.

For leading bridges of mountain machines, taking into account the features of work in severe conditions and during long descents in the mines, an enhanced design of the axis housing and multi -section wet brakes are used. The maximum load on one axis can reach 50 tons, which is especially suitable for heavy vehicles in mountainous areas. Large areas of mineral production, such as the Kursk iron ore mine in Russia.

All products can be configured in accordance with the specific requirements of customers to parameters and are provided with professional technical choice guidance.

“Quality is life” - this is the production principle of Shandong Lutong adhere to. We have introduced the quality control system in full, which includes the purchase of raw materials, production and processing, as well as testing of finished products: from the purchase of raw materials to production and processing, we implement a strict system for ISO quality management and have passed a number of international certificates. The leading bridge passes many test procedures before sending from the plant to guarantee the absence of defects during delivery and provide customers with durable products.

Conduct 100% factory tests, including ： bench tests for fatigue 、 testing of tightness 、 Analysis of noise and vibration
