Information


MAN planetary axles come from large-scale series production for commercial vehicles and meet the most demanding requirements.

The center section of the axle housing is made of high quality forged steel. The two axle stubs are secured to the axle housing by method of friction welding.

The crown wheel/pinion center drive and differential housing form an assembly and can easily be exchanged as a complete unit. Shafts and gears are made of high strength case hardened and alloy steel, mounted in robust tapered roller bearings.

All bearings are oil-lubricated.

The final torque is built up within the planetary hubs by means of five planetary gears running on needle bearings.

The wheel hubs are made of nodular cast iron and incorporate the latest findings in engineering.

The axles are fitted with drum brakes, feature automatic brake shoe adjustment and wear indicators on both, OEM brake linings and slack adjusters.

The brake linings are asbestos-free.

The axle is fitted with an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Axles for single tires are available on request.

Only rims and tires released by MAN may be fitted.

The brake cylinders are pneumatically actuated and as a customer option, are included in the delivery content of the axle.
