Powertrain Axles

Axle shafts & housing

Titan Axle Shafts & Housing system for powertrain axles applications. Titan has created several systems for assembling and testing large tractor rear axle assemblies. The system allows an operator to insert tapered roller bearings and shaft into a cast housing assembly. A pressing tool cart features the different gauge heads and assembly tools. The Test Stand directs the operator where to put the axle shaft, where the bearings go on the shaft. The shaft goes into the housing using an overhead crane. The system performs a comprehensive test of the axle, checking for rolling torque and preload on the bearings. The system also helps the operator select the right shims when compensation is required. The system walks the operator through the assembly process to ensure that the axle is correctly assembled before it is connected to the tractor.

Axle Shafts & Housing

Titan has created several systems for assembling and testing large tractor rear axle assemblies. The system allows an operator to insert tapered roller bearings and shafts into a cast housing assembly. A pressing tool cart provides the different gauge heads and assembly tools, while the test stand directs the operator on axle shaft and bearing placement. The shaft is installed into the housing using an overhead crane. The system performs a comprehensive test of the axle, checking rolling torque and bearing preload, and helps the operator select the correct shims when compensation is required. Guided step-by-step through the entire assembly process, the operator can confirm the axle is correctly assembled before it is connected to the tractor. A hydraulic press is included for pressing bearings onto the shaft.
