L980 B 5 APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE AXLE IDENTIFICATION STANDARD PRODUCT OFFERINGS Standard Hendrickson trailer axles are available in various spindle and tube combinations and are designed for on-highway use. Axles are available in straight or drop- or raised- center axles (as shown in figure 2) and can be ordered fully dressed with hubs and brake drums. Other miscellaneous components such as slack adjusters, air chambers, cam tubes, etc. can also be specified. The model number, customer part number (if applicable), a description and a serial number are all imprinted on an ID tag that is attached to the axle (as shown in figure 3). Older trailer axle product ID tags were made of myler and located near the center of the axle beam. Newer trailer axle products have a stainless steel ID tag located on the inside edge of the brake chamber bracket. The part number is used to identify the axle specifications. This number should be referred to when contacting Hendrickson to determine the appropriate service parts. The serial number is used to identify a particular axle along with all of the component parts as specified by the customer at the time of order. The axle description serves as a generic description of the axle assembly and can be used to determine some specific axle configuration parameters.

Your customer service representative will be able to create a TRLAXLE model number and provide a price on most HN (D22) and HP (P22) axles when you send in your completed Axle Ordering Guide (L964) or Electronic Axle Ordering Guide (E964). Other specialty axles (drop- or raisedcenter axles, A45/A65, K22/K30, D10/D21 and T24) will continue to use their current model number designations, like D22AU603A2-2 or K30AX603A22-2. 4 2 4 2 4 In addition to a new TRLAXLE model number, Hendrickson made the axle description more meaningful. Below is a guideline for interpreting the new description of your TRLAXLE model number. Newly created, non-configurable axle specs and specialty axles will also adopt this new description logic. The following box provides a detailed explanation of all the new axle description codes. Most HN and HP axle specs have been converted to new TRLAXLE.### model numbers. In most cases, the TRLAXLE bill of material will be identical to the D22 or P22, except with following component changes, if applicable: For additional information, call 1-866-RIDEAIR (743-3247) or visit www.hendrickson-intl.com. • Stemco Voyager is the standard seal replacing Chicago Rawhide • Abex 3030-197 brake lining (Abex 931-162 for 12.25" × 7.50" brake size) is the standard brake lining; Spicer Silver Supreme and Haldex brake linings are discontinued • Hendrickson's patented axle filter is the standard on all axles • New configurations require specifying (1) slacks only, (2) both slacks and chambers or (3) neither slacks or chambers; we cannot configure chambers only • ABS sensors on drum brake specs are 90 degrees, not straight • ABS sensors on air disc brake specs are straight, not 90 degrees • Castellated nuts are not configurable and must be ordered separately Model Number: TRLAXLE.13 L980 B 9 RTR Lube Dust Shields RTR Packages Chambers Brake Adjusters Cam Option ABS Option Cam Length Brake Size Brake Type Spider Type Auto Lube Axle Track Tube Wall Tire Inflation Tube Size Axle Type HN- S 50 5 - 0774 - W F 1670 L - S H M 1-C O Spindle DESCRIPTION: APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE HENDRICKSON AXLE DESCRIPTION MATRIX Spindle HN - Tapered Spindle HP - Parallel Spindle (Pro-Par Type) HPX - Parallel Spindle Cross-drill P90 - HUS Unitized Axle Type S - Straight U - Bent C - Cambered H - Half / Stub Tube Size 50 - 5" Round 56 - 5-3/ " Round 4 Tube Wall 4 - 1/ " Nominal 5 - 5/ " Nominal H - 5/ " (Heavy Duty) 6 - 3/ " 0 - Solid Bar 2 8 8 4 Brake Type B - B-Lock S - Single Anchor Pin (SAP) Service Only F - Std.

For straight axles, the axle can be clocked to any position within 10 degrees of the horizontal centerline (figure 6). Drop center axles and axles with tire inflation systems require the customer to specify the orientation of the drop center portion of the axle as well as the orientation of the brake cam. A typical trailer axle is set up so that the horizontal axis passing through the axle assembly will also pass through the centerline of the brake cam. In a typical setup (figure 4 and 5), the brake cams are set to the front or rear of the axle with the slack adjuster pointed up away from the road for “Cam Forward Orientation” (figure 5) or down towards the road for "Cam Rearward Orientation" (figure 4). Using these two orientations allows the cam to rotate (open) in the same direction of travel as the tires. Using an opposite orientation (i.e. cams to the rear with the slacks pointing up away from the road) causes the cam to open against the rotation of the tires. This condition is known as “cam opposite,” or “reverse cam rotation.” For more information on reverse cam rotation, refer to the “cam same vs. cam opposite” section of this guideline. 10 figure 6 Vehicle Front Cam rearward (air under) figure 4 Cam Forward (Air Over) figure 5 L980 B 13 APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE VALUE ADDED OPTIONS CAM TUBES Hendrickson Trailer Suspension Systems works closely with fleets and trailer manufacturers to create products that offer versatility in application, added reliability and reduced costs. These value added options are enhanced design features which reduce life cycle costs. Cam tubes cover the brake camshaft from the brake spider to the cam support bracket and are filled with grease. Cam tubes often extend the life of seals and bushings used on trailer axle brake spiders and cam brackets, as well as, reducing vibration in the axles. Cam tubes are particularly popular in the Northern United States and Canada where they are used to help keep road salts and other chemicals from getting to the bushings and seals.

Suspension type and suspension mounting centers; axle wall thickness and track; wheel type (dual or single), and offset dimension for a single wheel application are required. GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING This section will help vehicle manufacturers determine the load carrying capacity of a Hendrickson trailer axle with easy to use reference charts, as well as explaining how the axle weight rating is determined. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) is the load carrying capacity of an axle and is determined by the lowest rated component in the assembly. DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AXLE BEAM RATING SUSPENSION TYPE AND SUSPENSION MOUNTING CENTERS If you are unsure how to use the charts in this section, or your axle is not included in the charts, contact Hendrickson. To obtain a written application approval of a GAWR, a request can be submitted via the Internet at www.hendrickson-intl.com. An axle rating provided by Hendrickson will only cover the axle beam and brake system, as these are the components that Hendrickson manufacturers. Any components not manufactured by Hendrickson such as wheel ends, tires, vehicle, etc. should have ratings provided by the component or vehicle manufacturer. It is important to understand the difference between mechanical spring centers or air suspension beam centers and vehicle frame centers as many people confuse these dimensions. The mechanical spring centers distance is the distance from the centerline of the mechanical spring to the centerline of the other mechanical spring (figure 7). figure 7 L980 B 15 APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE In air suspensions applications the “air suspension beam centers” are defined as distance from the centerline of the axle connection to the other centerline of the axle connection (as shown in figure 8). Air Spring Centers Beam Centers Track Air Spring figure 8 Vehicle frame centers relate to the frame, or chassis of the vehicle and not to the mechanical spring centers or air ride beam centers. It is important to provide the correct dimension when requesting a rating for a Hendrickson Trailer Axle. figure 10 AXLE TRACK WALL THICKNESS For dual wheels, track is measured from center to center of the dual wheel set-up. For axles using single tires with a zero offset wheel, track is measured from the center of the tire or wheel to the center of the other tire or wheel.(figure 10) Standard trailer axle product offerings are available with nominal wall thicknesses of ½ , 5/8 and true / full wall thicknesses of 5/8 and ¾ inches. NOTE: The ½ inch nominal wall thickness trailer axle is approved for mechanical spring suspensions only. If the application uses a single wheel that is either inset or outset the rating is affected. The effects are described in detail later in “Beam Rating Charts Single Offset Wheels.” Wall Thickness figure 9 16 L980 B APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE BEAM RATING - SUPER SINGLE OFFSET TIRES The use of a super-single outset tire configuration moves the load point out away from the center of the vehicle, which increases the bending load in the axle and also decreases the bearing life. To determine the rating for an axle that uses an outset wheel, contact Hendrickson engineering for assistance. The use of offset tires can affect the axle rating. For applications where dual offset wheels are utilized or an application that uses a zero offset super-single tire, the axle rating will not be affected. However, the use of an outset or inset super-single tire does change the way in which the axle is loaded and therefore affects how the axle will be rated. NOTE: Outset single wheel – Max allowable outset is 2 inches and outset applications must use a HP (P22) spindle. Offset (outset) wheels are not approved on HN (D22) spindle applications. Inset super-single tires move the point at which the axle is loaded inboard towards the center of the vehicle. Using this type of wheel will not affect the axle beam rating, but can significantly reduce the life of the outer bearing. To determine the effect that this will have on a particular axle application, contact Hendrickson.

The graph provides ratings for HN (D22), HP (P22) and T24 model axles in all available wall thickness for use in a mechanical spring or air suspensions. In order to use the graph, the following is needed: • Axle wall thickness • Nominal axle rating • Suspension mounting centers • Air spring centers (air suspension only) • Suspension pivot to axle center (air suspension only) • Suspension pivot to air spring center (air suspension only) • Axle overhang With all of this information, the axle beam rating can easily be determined from the beam rating graph to follow. NOMINAL BEAM RATINGS For the purposes of calculating straight axle beam ratings, the nominal axle ratings are as follows: Nominal Axle Ratings /2" Wall 22,500 lbs /8" Wall 25,000 lbs /4" Wall 27,000 lbs 1 5 3 Table C 18 L980 B APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE EXAMPLE 2 To find the axle beam ratings for an application that uses a mechanical spring suspension with an axle that has a 5/ inch wall thickness and a 711/ inch track length with suspension mounting centers of 37 inches. Axle beam rating can be determined as follows: MECHANICAL SPRING SUSPENSIONS To calculate the axle beam rating on mechanical spring suspension, use the following technique: 8 1. Determine the axles nominal rating from (TABLE C on page 18). 2. Determine the suspension mounting centers. For a mechanical spring suspension, the suspension mounting centers are equal to the spring centers. 3. Determine the axle track. 4. Determine the axle overhang by subtracting the mounting centers from the axle track and dividing by two. 5. Refer to the “Hendrickson Trailer Axle Beam Ratings” graph to determine the percentage of nominal rating (page 22). 6. Multiply the axle nominal rating by the percent of nominal rating. 1 - Nominal rating 5/ inch inches wall axle = 25,000 pounds 2 - Suspension mounting centers = 37 inches 3 - Axle track = 711/ inches 4 - Axle overhang = 1/ x (711/ - 37) = 171/ inches 5 - From graph, percent of nominal rating = 100 percent 6 - Axle beam rating = 25,000 x (1) = 25,000 pounds 8 2 2 EXAMPLE 1 To find the axle beam rating for an application that uses a mechanical spring suspension with an axle that has a ½ inch wall thickness and a 711/ -inch track length with suspension mounting centers of 341/ inches.

Axle beam rating can be determined as follows: For air suspensions, axle ratings are based on the location of the suspension attachment relative to the axle spindles. The suspension location is defined as the effective suspension centers. 8 2 The effective suspension centers are determined using the front and rear suspension mounting locations to determine where the effective suspension center crosses the axle center (figure 12). 1.

Each brake approval shown is based on gross axle weight rating (GAWR), static loaded radius (SLR), air chamber size, brake adjuster length (S-cam brake only) and the brake lining material. SERVICE BRAKE REQUIREMENTS Hendrickson offers a variety of sizes and models of brakes. Federal law requires all brakes / axles meet the performance standard set by FMVSS-121 regulation. FMVSS-121 is applicable to vehicles that travel more than 55 MPH and brakes that are rated less than 29,000 pounds. BRAKE TYPE Hendrickson Trailer Axles can be ordered with double anchor pin (DAP) S-cam drum brakes, or air disc brakes. Each of these brakes can be configured to meet a variety of performance and packaging considerations (figure 15). Canadian law requires brakes meet CMVSS-121. CMVSS-121 requires that all brakes meet a draw bar requirement. If a trailer brake assembly will be used in Canada, it must meet Canadian draw bar certification requirements. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has the responsibility of ensuring that their trailers meet the certification requirements. For additional information regarding brake certifications contact Hendrickson engineering. Air Disc Brake Assembly (ADB) Double Anchor Pin Drum Brake Assembly (DAP) figure 15 L980 B 25 APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE CAM SAME VS. CAM OPPOSITE Installation in which the camshaft rotation is opposite of wheel rotation can cause brake noise, chatter and wheel “hop.” Only “cam same” installations meet the requirements of these guidelines. However, some suspension systems do not have enough clearance to allow the axle to be mounted with “cam same.” Approval for “cam opposite” uses is rarely granted, but may be requested on an individual basis by submitting a Hendrickson Trailer Spec Form to Hendrickson engineering. To ensure safe operation and maximum durability of parts such as brake linings and tires, it is necessary to position and install the axle with the proper cam rotation. It is required that the axle assembly be installed so that in the forward direction of the vehicle the cams rotate in the same direction as the wheels. When the brake is installed in this configuration it is known as “cam same.” When the wheel rotation is opposite of the cam rotation, the brake is considered “cam opposite.” Examples of “cam same” are shown below (figure 16). Failure to obtain application approval or the use of Hendrickson brakes or their components in non-approved applications will void Hendrickson's warranty coverage. Wheel Rotation EXAMPLES OF “CAM SAME” Cam Rotation Wheel Rotation Cam Rotation figure 16 26 L980 B APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE AXLE STRUCTURAL RATING VS. BRAKE PERFORMANCE RATING The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) must be the value of the lowest rated component of the axle assembly. This includes all weight rated components of the axle such as the brake components, brake lining, tires, hubs and drums. It is common practice to have an axle with an axle beam rating at 23,000 pounds used in conjunction with a brake configuration with a brake rating at 20,000 pounds. In this case, the GAWR would be that of the lowest rated component or 20,000 pounds. The axle beam rating considers the structural strength of the axle and is essentially the load carrying capability of the axle. Specifically, it is how much weight the axle can carry (as shown below). The brake rating is the maximum load the brake is capable of stopping, while meeting FMVSS-121 requirements. In short, it is the stopping power. Brake rating is dependent on brake size, lining type, brake power and tire static loaded radius (as shown below in figure 17). Axle Beam Rating – Load carrying Brake Rating – Stopping power figure 17 L980 B 27 APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE S-CAM DRUM BRAKE RATINGS The performance of a S-cam drum brake is determined by the brake diameter, brake width, input torque, lining type and the static loaded radius of the tire. The nomenclature used to identify the size of the brake is to specify the diameter of the brake by the width of the brake. For example, a 16.5x7 brake refers to a 16.5-inch diameter brake that has a width of 7 inches. As shown in the figure below. Brake certification is available from Hendrickson engineering. Brake Drum Diameter Brake Lining Width figure 18 28 L980 B APPLICATION GUIDE — HENDRICKSON TRAILER AXLE BRAKE CHAMBER BRACKETS AND SLACK ADJUSTER CLEARANCE Hendrickson has two styles of brake chamber brackets: standard and high rise (figure 19). Slack selection depends on the brake chamber bracket selected. On 12¼ inch brakes, if you select the standard or high rise brake chamber bracket, you must get curved slacks for adequate clearance between the slack body and axle tube.
