Axle Assembly Braked 5 in Parallel
SAF-Holland

This axle assembly is configured for 5-inch parallel axle layouts used in SAF-Holland systems, featuring a braked design to enable reliable stopping performance under heavy loads. The assembly emphasizes robust axle shafts, balanced gear trains, and precise hub interfaces to ensure consistent rotation and torque delivery. With parallel alignment, steering geometry remains stable, particularly when maneuvering with trailers at maximum gross weight. Maintenance considerations include checking bearings, seals, and brake mounting surfaces for wear and alignment. Proper lubrication and periodic inspection help sustain efficiency, reduce heat buildup, and extend service life under continuous highway duty. When paired with the appropriate suspension and brake components, this axle assembly helps maintain predictable handling and braking behavior. Source One Parts Center.
