MEDIUM-DUTY SINGLE AXLE

Dana’s new family of single-drive, medium-duty axles replaces all previous 17,000-to-19,000-lb Spicer drive axles. They’re available for all makes and models of straight truck chassis up to 19,000-lb gross axle weight ratings (GAWR), including delivery, rescue, municipal, and utility vehicles, among others.

S140 Series axles are said to be 85 lb lighter, compared with previous Dana and current competitive medium-duty axles, helping to improve fuel economy. With an initial Roadranger lubrication drain at 250,000 miles and 32% less lubrication required overall, these axles are easier to maintain and environmentally friendly.

Spicer S140 Series axles are claimed to offer 23 millimeters more ground clearance compared to other axles with the same GAWR. They’re assembled in the U.S..

They can be spec’d in vehicles with drivetrain ratings up to 860 lb ft of torque and up to 300 hp, and they’ll support gross combination weight ratings up to 46,000 lb, with typical GVW ratings up to 31,000 lb in most vocational applications. Maximum gross combined weight ratings of 50,000 lb and GVW ratings of 33,000 lb are available under specific application approvals.

These S140 axles are also available with a number of options, including a carrier-integrated parking brake or electromagnetic retarder mount; a wide-track design for maximum stability; a patented axle breather design supplying unrestricted air flow and minimizing the risk of seal leaks due to axle pressurization; and integral, welded suspension brackets for increased strength and durability.
