XA-FW-106
Wheel Shaft
SAF-Holland

In heavy‑duty drive-line applications, this precision‑engineered shaft serves as the critical conduit for rotational power from the engine to the wheel-end hub assembly. Its exacting diameter of 2.75 inches and overall length of 33.25 inches establish the geometry required for proper alignment, concentricity, and torque transfer under a wide range of operating conditions. As part of the Component family within the wheel-end subsystem, it integrates with standard SAF-Holland hub interfaces to deliver consistent performance across fleet equipment. The VMRS code 059-001-128 helps maintenance planners identify and catalog this component within the wheel and drive train category, supporting accurate service records and timely replacements. In service, the shaft resists repetitive torsional stresses and dynamic misalignment, contributing to reduced wear on mating surfaces and extended service intervals. Its robust construction supports on‑highway and heavy‑haul configurations where reliability and uptime are paramount. Practical benefits include easier inspection and replacement, predictable noise and vibration behavior, and the ability to maintain optimal drive condition even in high‑demand routes. Category context reinforces its role as a fundamental wheel-end linkage within SAF-Holland assemblies.
