Torsion Axle
THE EQUALIZER TORSION AXLE
Your trailer may be equipped with our Equalizer axle(s). The Trailer
manufacturer specifies their use according to individual engineering
requirements.
Each spindle is attached to a trailing arm which rocks up and down
during road shock. This movement is transferred to a steel inner bar
within the axle beam. Rubber cords then absorb the shock from the
twisting inner bar.
THE BENEFITS
Superior Performance
The independent action provides greater control and stability which
makes towing the trailer much easier. Wheel vibration is absorbed
by the rubber cords.
Side mount hangers should be welded to frame with three (3) 1/4” fillet welds, 2 1/2”
long on each side of the hanger and a fillet weld on each end. Welds should be meet
the quality standards of the Amercan Welding Society, D1.1, Structural Welding Code.
Washer(s) must be placed
against the slotted hole in the
axle bracket.
NOTE: Low profile brackets
have plain round holes.
