unctlan of the dme ax
The function of the drlve axle is to transmit the engine torque transmitted by theuniversal transmission device to the driving wheels, and through speed reduction andtorque increase, change the direction of power transmission, make the car travel, ancallow the left and right driving wheels to rotate at different speeds. Specifically, thefunction of the main reducer is to reduce speed and increase torque, and change thedlrection of power transmission; The function of the differential is to allow the left andright drive wheeis to rotate at different speeds; The function of a half axle is totransmit power from the differential to the driving wheels
After the power of the engine is transmittedle, it is firsttransmitted to the main reducer. Here, theed andrdhe segecisreduced, and then distributed to the left ars through thedifferential. Finally, it is transmitted to the hub odriving wheel through theflange at the outer end of the half axle, which is composed of the drive axle asshown in Figure 5-25. The main components of the drive axle are installed in theaxle housing of the drive axle. The axle housing consists of the main reducerhousing and the half shaft sleeve.
