Dana unveils Class 4-5 axle

Dana Corp.'s Commercial Vehicle Systems unit has introduced the Spicer S110 drive axle, designed for Class 4 and 5 trucks. The unit meets drive-axle weight ratings ranging from 10,000 to 14,500 lb., GVW ratings up to 23,500-lb., and GCW up to 35,000-lb.

According to Dana, the new axle has a 300-mm hypoid gearing and wheel differential designed to maximize strength and increase axle life when used with high-horsepower engines. Ground clearance is improved via a bolted oval axle carrier assembly, welded housing cover, and flat-bottom axle housing.

The axle assembly itself weighs just 345 lb., and reduced pinion standout distance increases vehicle installation flexibility and improves driveline angles.
