There are many different types of axle housings used across different industries and different types of equipment. This is a critical part of any system and is essentially a case to hold the differential gears. From heavy equipment and agricultural equipment to race cars and other types of vehicles, all require a customized axle housing in their design.
The design and the manufacturing of the housing is specific to the type of vehicle. Regardless of the size or shape of the housing, its role is to protect the differential gears and to keep out moisture, dust, and debris. Poorly designed or poorly manufactured housings allow moisture and dust into the differential. This not only causes problems in the operation of the gears but also dramatically decreases the life cycle of the differential and other components.
Choosing the Manufacturer
Choosing a company to manufacture the axle housing is an important decision. One of the factors to consider is the experience of the company. Factors such as how long the manufacture has been in business and the type of housings produced in the past are factors any OEM needs to consider carefully.
Not all manufacturers of axle housing are able to take on high volume orders. They may have limited additional capacity on their manufacturing and welding lines, which reduces their ability to ramp up production to meet the needs of OEM demands. Checking for current and future production capacity is always critical.
Considering the additional options in manufacturing and assembly offered by the company is also important. Outsourcing multiple parts and components to one company results in a lower cost per unit than outsourcing to multiple companies.
