Dana Holding Corporation has introduced the Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle. This 40,000-pound tandem axle for a variety of Class 8 applications features a design which increases fuel economy, improves reliability, reduces vehicle weight and decreases total ownership costs.
- Delivers estimated $8,000 in operating savings over a five-year period
- Fuel savings achieved through a combination of features such as 2.26:1 axle ratio, lower axle weight, optimum inter-axle driveline angles, and reduced lubrication quantity
- Faster axle ratios enable handling of higher input torques
- Allows lower engine rpm at cruise speed while increasing axle efficiency by up to 1.2%
- Available with ratios ideally suited for direct-drive transmission drivetrains requiring rear axle ratios from 2.26 to 2.79 and overdrive transmission drivetrain ratios from 2.93 to 3.91
- Up to 21 lbs. lighter than competitive 40,000 lb. tandem axles
- Available with additional options such as Dana’s patented wheel differential locks, lubrication pump, breather, and Spicer LMS and LMSi hubs
- Options include thick-wall housings and Dana’s SelecTTrac solution for maximizing GAWR rating for aluminum hubs and maximizing bearing life in single wide-based tire configurations
- Optimum inter-axle driveline angles allow for parallel axle installation, avoiding installation variables and vehicle issues with certain air-ride suspensions
