The drive axle of a loader is an important component of the loader, which bears the weight and traction of the loader, while also transmitting the power and braking force of the loader. Therefore, the failure of the loader drive axle can seriously affect the normal operation of the loader. This article will introduce common faults and handling methods of loader drive axles for reference.

Common faults of loader drive axle
1. Drive axle oil leakage. This is one of the most common faults, usually caused by oil seal wear, damage, or improper installation. The solution is to replace or reinstall the oil seal, and check whether there are scratches or indentations on the sealing surface around the oil seal. If there are any, they should be repaired or replaced.
2. Excessive noise from the drive axle. This is another common fault, usually caused by poor gear engagement, bearing damage, or insufficient lubrication. The solution is to adjust the gear clearance, replace the bearings, or add appropriate lubricating oil, while checking whether the gears are worn, broken, or deformed. If so, they should be replaced.
3. The temperature of the drive axle is too high. This is a more serious malfunction, usually caused by poor lubricating oil quality, insufficient oil quantity, or cooling system failure. The solution is to replace qualified lubricating oil, replenish sufficient oil, or clean the cooling system. At the same time, check if there are any abnormal situations such as overload, overspeed, or excessive braking in the drive axle. If there are any, they should be eliminated in a timely manner. Maintenance and upkeep of loader drive axle
In order to avoid or reduce the failure of the loader drive axle, the following maintenance work should be done well:
1. Regularly check the lubricating oil quantity, quality, and temperature of the drive axle, and replace the lubricating oil according to usage and specified intervals.
2. Regularly inspect various components of the drive axle, such as gears, bearings, oil seals, etc. If any abnormalities or damage are found, replace or repair them in a timely manner.
3. Regularly clean the cooling system of the drive axle to maintain smooth cooling water and prevent overheating of the drive axle.
4. Reasonably use the loader to avoid operations such as overload, overspeed, or excessive braking, and reduce the load and wear of the drive axle.
