peer agreement (net): +2Dead axle truck Explanation: Caminhão Trucado => Dead axle truck Dead axles/lazy axles This dump truck has an airlift pusher axle, shown in the raised position. A dead axle, also called lazy axle, is not part of the drivetrain but is instead free-rotating. The rear axle of a front-wheel drive car may be considered a dead axle. Many trucks and trailers use dead axles for strictly load-bearing purposes. A dead axle located immediately in front of a drive axle is called a pusher axle. A tag axle is a dead axle situated behind a drive axle. On some vehicles (such as motorcoaches), the tag axle may be steerable. In some designs the wheels on a lazy axle only come into contact with ground when the load is significant thus saving wear. Some dump trucks and trailers are configured with lift axles (also known as airlift axles or drop axles), which may be mechanically raised or lowered. The axle is lowered to increase the weight capacity, or to distribute the weight of the cargo over more wheels, for example to cross a weight restricted bridge. When not needed, the axle is lifted off the ground to save wear on the tires and axle and to increase traction in the remaining wheels. Lifting an axle also alleviates lateral scrubbing of the additional axle in very tight turns, allowing the vehicle to turn more readily. In some situations removal of pressure from the additional axle is necessary for the vehicle to complete a turn at all.[1] Several manufacturers offer computer-controlled airlift, so that the dead axles are automatically lowered when the main axle reaches its weight limit. The dead axles can still be lifted by the press of a button if needed.

Many trucks and trailers use dead axles ... Cavalo Mecânico Trucado ou LS: tem o mesmo conceito do cavalo mecânico, mas com o diferencial de ter eixo duplo em seu conjunto, para poder carregar mais peso. Assim o peso da carga do semi-reboque distribui-se por mais rodas, e a pressão exercida por cada uma no chão é menor. |
