Guide to Wheel Bearings
While small and often overlooked, wheel bearings are vital to trailer and caravan mobility. This guide will help you understand their function...
45mm round parallel axle suits wider small box trailers and car carriers up to 1600kg. Couplemate axles are guaranteed for life against faulty workmanship. Bearing wear is determined by the degree of precision machining.
Bearing journals require smooth, accurate surfaces to ensure a long bearing life. To get the total length, add 100mm to the face-to-face measurement.
Your 45mm Round Axle may be perfect for your trailer, caravan or camper. If you are towing your rig straight and true, perfect if not then below are a few tips.
If your axle is 45mm Round and bending, buy a 45mm square axle and update it to 1.5t. It is not very expensive compared to replacing fatigued springs.
[P] – Check material specifications. What size and profile is the axle (for example, 45mm Square)
[T] – Overall axle length (tip to tip)
[F] – Hub face-to-hub face measurement
[A] – Chassis width
[C] – Tyre clearance
[B] – Back offset
[H] – Tyre to chassis
[G] – Axle pad centres
You will also need to identify your bearing combination which can be done by pulling off a hub and bearings and locating the number laser engraved onto the bearing. You will require both the inner and the outer bearing numbers.
