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 Installation
Wheel Attachment and Torque Requirements
Patriot Equipment would like to reiterate the extreme importance of properly matching your axles, wheels, and tires
when specifying or replacing your trailer wheels. It is of equal importance that you apply and maintain proper
wheel mounting torque on your trailer axle. Please follow the wheel selection, torque requirement, and torque
sequence guidelines that follow.
Wheel Selection
Wheels are a very important and critical component of your running gear system. When specifying or replacing
your trailer wheels it is important that the wheels, tires, and axle are properly matched. The following
characteristics are extremely important and should be thoroughly checked when replacement wheels are considered.
1.
Bolt Circle:
Many bolt circle dimensions are available and some vary by so little that it might be
possible to attach an improper wheel that does not match the axle hub. Be sure to match your wheel to the
axle hub, bolts circle, hub pilot and wheel mount surface to hub face. Also, confirm that proper studs
stick out.
2.
Capacity:
Make sure that the wheels have enough load carrying capacity and pressure rating to match
the maximum load of the axle tire and trailer.
Side mount hangers should be
welded to frame with three (3) ¼”
fillet welds, 2-1/2” long on each side
of the hanger and a fillet weld on
each end. Welds should meet the
quality standards of the American
Welding Society, D1.1 Structural
Welding Code.
