Posted by Dutchrailnut on Sun Nov 26 19:47:56 2006, in response to Re: Wheel Axels, posted by WillD on Sun Nov 26 17:57:50 2006. With the single wheel on axle the worst bearing for maintenance is on inside. since wheels are taperd the inside bearing needs to be a dual bearing, both for load and as trust bearing since axle wants to go to insde due to wheel taper.With a solid axle the axle carries the inward trust of both wheels. And since every wheel needs to be replaced once it travels x amount of feet of the rail it becomes a maintenance headache. |
