Rear Axles Other Than MACK
Please refer to the operator’s manual provided with your vehicle for axles other than MACK.
MACK Rear Axles
MACK Trucks, provides axle housings in three capacity classifications:
•
Medium Duty
•
Heavy Duty
•
Extra-Heavy Duty
To deliver the appropriate amount of torque to the driving wheels, MACK offers
dual-reduction carriers in a variety of ratios.
MACK Trucks, offers a large variety of four-wheel-drive tandem axles with top-mounted,
dual-reduction carriers (for straight line through drive). Carriers are also available in
a large number of ratios.
All four-wheel-drive tandem carriers are available with the MACK inter-axle power divider
third differential (with or without a power divider lockout).
MACK rear axles are designed so the entire load is carried by the axle housing (through the
wheel bearings mounted on the housing spindle). The rear axle shafts are either free-splined
(both ends) or integral flange type. Both types of axle shafts can be removed without
removing or disturbing the rear wheels.
To avoid excessive tyre wear, proper maintenance must be practiced and rear axle tyres
must be matched.
CAUTION
The maximum safe operating oil
temperature for a MACK rear axle is
121°C (250°F) for mineral-based oil,
and 148°C (300°F) for synthetic-based
oil. Continued operation with oil above
this temperature will result in rapid
deterioration of the oil’s lubricating
properties and is NOT recommended.
