The three new publications provide access to information on product approvals for use in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles that are engaged in on-, on/off-, and off-highway applications in the U.S. and Canada.
The new publications contain a wealth of up-to-date information to assist OEMs with the specification process. Highlights include:
| • | Dana Spicer Drive Axle Application Guidelines, item number AXAG-0200, features a section that defines 13 separate types of vocational applications; gross axle capacities and dimensions for 22 different axle ratings; information on how to identify specific axle models and axle parts; ratings charts on all axles; and a 13-page glossary covering more than 250 of the most common drive axle terms. |
| • | Dana Spicer Trailer Axle and Bendix® Brake Application Guidelines, item number AXAG-0300, provides information on how to identify all trailer axle product offerings; axle beam and gross axle weight ratings on all products; application guidelines; standard axle configurations, quick-ship guidelines; and a 13-page glossary covering more than 180 commonly used terms |
