‘Weld On’ Axle Brackets
‘Weld On’ Axle Brackets
Weld on axle brackets to fit dual supply hydraulic/pneumatic brake actuators and standard air chambers. This involves installing the correct mounting brackets onto a vehicle’s axle to support both dual-supply brake actuators (used in combination braking systems) and standard air brake chambers (used in traditional air braking systems). Here’s a breakdown of what this involves:
Our range of ‘weld on’ axle brackets
| Order Ref No. | Description (to Fit Chamber Type) |
|---|---|
| A20705S | SMALL A/C BRACKET (T09/12/16) |
| A20705L2 | H/D LARGE AIR CHAMBER BRK’T (T20/24) |
| A20705U | AIR CHAMBER BRACKET (T09/12/16/20/24) |
| A20705XL | AIR CHAMBER BRACKET XL (T30/36) |
Purpose of the Weld-On Axle Brackets
These brackets provide mounting points for the brake components, aligning them correctly with the axle and brake hardware (e.g., slack adjusters, S-cams, discs, or drums). They need to withstand high mechanical and thermal loads from braking forces.
Brake System Types Involved
- Dual Supply Hydraulic/Pneumatic Actuators:
- Found in trailers or vehicles that can receive air or hydraulic input, depending on the towing vehicle.
- Common in interchangeable fleet trailers.
- Require mounting points that accommodate both a pushrod (like an air chamber) and hydraulic line routing.
- Standard Air Chambers:
- Used in traditional air brake systems.
- Include service and spring brake chambers.
- Mount with a standard bolt-on pattern to brackets on the axle.
