NON-DRIVE STEER AXLE
FS25 SERIES
PRODUCT SUMMARY
The AxleTech International FS25 Non-Drive Steer Axle is engineered to meet the increasing demands of the various On/Off-Road market vocations. With a nominal rated capacity of 25,600 lbs. (11,600 kg.), the FS25 covers a broad vehicle range including: truck mounted hydraulic cranes, agricultural, construction, and specialty chassis applications.
Engineered for a variety of specialty vehicle applications, the FS25 features 16.5" x 6" and 7" Q Plus™ (419x152 and 178mm) heavy-duty cam brakes and tubular steel beam construction for multiple OEM vehicle mounting configurations. With a standard spindle to beam centerline drop of 1.5" (38.1mm), the suspension height may be varied. Multiple track widths are achieved by varying the beam lengths.
The 6.375" (162mm) O.D. tubular steel beam will accommodate a variety of bracket configurations. The multiple drop and bracket configurations make the FS25 the most versatile heavy-duty steer axle in the specialty vehicle industry. The straight tie rod design optimizes tie rod strength, and also enhances protection behind the tubular beam from external damage. The FS25 axle is available for either a single or tandem vehicle installation; also has options on dual steer arms, and tie rod arms available to improve nominal Ackerman steer. The FS25 axle has both inch/metric conventional wheel studs as available mountings to improve OEM vehicle installation flexibility.
Individual applications require prior approval by AxleTech International Engineering.
