Type of trailer axle Trailer axles are usually divided into two different types: spring axles and torsion axles. Although these two types of axles perform the same basic work, the way they suspend and buffer trailer loads is completely different. Spring shaft The function of the spring axle is to use stacked metal plate springs located below or above the axle beam to support the weight of the trailer. The spring shaft is available in single axis, double axis, and three axis configurations. In both dual and triple trailers, the leaf springs are connected through an equalizer. Equalizer helps to distribute the weight of the trailer more evenly across all axles. Spring axles are common on all brands and models of trailers because they are more cost-effective than torque.

Torsion axis

The torque shaft handles suspension travel and shock absorption by using rubber ropes or sleeves inside the shaft tube. The torsion shaft does not use leaf springs, but uses compressed rubber to provide the required suspension support. Each wheel works independently of each other. The torque shaft is also directly bolted or welded to the trailer frame, which increases the stability and structure of the trailer frame.

Which trailer is more suitable for you? Torque shaft or spring shaft:

Torsion Axles

advantage:The smoothness of the torsion axis. They adopt a direct design that relies on the tension of the rubber components inside the axle to absorb interference. Even when there is no load on the trailer, this twisting and compression mechanism is very smooth and slides very well. In addition, there is no contact between the metal inside the axles, making driving quieter. Furthermore, due to its design efficiency, it only requires minimal maintenance. There are fewer moving parts, and there are no components that rub against each other inside the axle, thereby reducing wear and corrosion.

Cons:The torsion shaft also has several drawbacks. Firstly, the connection structure of the torque shaft requires any substantial maintenance to require the removal of the torque shaft.

Spring Axles

advantage:The spring shaft is the most typical shaft anywhere, for a reason. Spring axles are very popular among consumers because they are very cheap. Easy to produce and install, making it a more cost-effective axle choice. Parts are also widely available, which means that in the long run, their costs may be lower. Maintenance and repair are also very simple. If the spring shaft is damaged, the parts can be replaced separately. In addition, welding is not required during the repair process. The bearing capacity of a spring shaft is much higher than that of a torsion shaft. In addition, because all fragments are visible outside, you can repair them before any damage increases.

Cons:Spring shafts, such as torsion shafts, have several drawbacks. Firstly, its ability to reduce vibration is limited. Due to the fact that the spring shaft is a sturdy component, vibration is easily transmitted through the trailer frame. Another drawback is its relatively limited adaptability. When you need an adjustable ride height, using a spring axle may be inconvenient.
