Rear axle

Cost iron engine block gear box rear axle... 

Despite its demand for special lubrication, this gear type is in widespread use in industrial and automotive applications. It is used extensively in rear axles of automobiles having rear-wheel drives and is increasingly being used in industrial machinery. 

The tire constmction influences both cornering and longitudinal slip stiffness. These include the tire carcass, breaker construction, inflation pressure, and tread pattern design. However, since the two stiffness components can be measured, knowledge of the construction details is not necessary. The vehicle geometry influences the tire wear through the air resistance, which it creates, and through the load distribution between front and rear axles. 

Hot oil oxidation test (manual transmission and rear axle oils). Temperature of the test was 200°C. After 16 h, the viscosity of the PAO fluid increased by only 21% but the mineral oil product became too viscous to measure. 

The increased compression ratio of the gasoline engine allowed by the use of high octane gasoline due to lead can result in dramatically increased horsepower or economy. For example, an increase in compression ratio from 8.0 to 10.3 can result in a fuel economy of several miles per gallon when the rear axle ratio is properly adjusted 120b... 

Other devices include a differential-type automotive dynamometer (R4, R13) using the rear-axle assembly from an automobile. Power was sent through the differential to the agitator shaft at one end of the axle, while the torque required to prevent rotation of the other end was... 

In terms of construction, the most suitable tractors are articulated ones which in addition to a low total weight have a favourable weight distribution (60% on the front axle and 40% on the rear axle). This type... 

The severity of different lubricant applications covers a wide shear stability range. Figure 5.8 shows that engine oils are the mildest application, followed by automatic transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids and rear axle lubricants [63]. Thus, matching shear stability requirements of the application with the selection of VI improver is a key formulation consideration.

Mixi Penrice, proprietor of Mahalia Engineering Supplies, had been struggling to remove the linear motor from the stolen taxi s rear axle when the assault mechanoids crashed into the warehouse door. The noise of the shaped electron explosive charges going off was like standing next to a lightning strike. 

Blow-moulded polyethylene petrol tanks provide considerable weight savings compared to steel tanks. Corrosion is eliminated, and the complex moulded shapes can fit into spaces above the rear axle, protected from a rear impact. This allows more of the boot space to be used for luggage. 

Fuel tanks have been made of steel since automotive production began. One of the major disadvantages of this material has proven to be corrosivity. This became an issue mainly from inside the product, since underbody sealing (e.g., with PVC plas-tisols) helped cope with corrosion from the outside. Moreover, as more and more additional technical features were incorporated into cars, space for the fuel tank became limited. Early concepts identified spaces in the car trunk or behind the rear seat row, but it became common practice to place the fuel tank under the car body in the rear section. This meant additional forming requirements to accommodate various requirements such as maximization of tmnk volume, safety features, and provision of sufficient space for the rear axle and muffler. It became increasingly difficult to realize the complex geometries of fuel tanks based on metal stampings. Moreover,... 

The design of the vehicle. A critical element of the Pinto s design was the location of its fuel tank. Ford decided to place the fuel tank behind the rear axle and below the floor pan of the trunk, just in front of the rear... 

Why was the gas tank placed just behind the rear bumper in the 1971 Pinto According to internal Eord memos, it was placed there for marketing and cost reasons. Specifically, it was placed there to maintain luggage space in the trunk and because it was cheaper to produce the car with the fuel tank behind the rear axle. Unfortunately, one consequence of the fiiel tank s position was that the Pinto had less crush space between the rear bumper and the rear axle. ... 

For a truck tractor without mudflaps, the strips may be mounted outboard of the frame on brackets behind the rear axle or on brackets ahead of the rear axle and above the top of the rear tires at unladed vehicle height, or they may be mounted directly or indirectly to the back of the cab as close to the outer edges as practicable, above the top of the tires, and not more than 60 inches (1,525 mm) above the road surface at unladed vehicle... 

A state cannot impose a limit of less than 46 feet on the distance from the kingpin to the center of the rear axle on trailers and semitrailers used exclusively or primarily to transport vehicles in connection with motorsports competition events.
