This axle is made of steel, 45mm round axle, 1500KG capacity. It is  also equipped with 2 pieces 5 stud 10 inch disc hubs, 2 mechanical brake calipers, 2 anchor plates, 2 inner bearings, 2 outer bearings, 1 dust cap and 1 seal. The trailer disc brake axle is a crucial component in modern towing systems, designed to enhance the safety and performance of trailers used for various applications. These axles are typically fitted with disc brakes, which provide superior stopping power compared to traditional drum brakes. This makes them particularly suited for heavy-duty applications, such as transporting boats, livestock, construction equipment, and recreational vehicles.

One of the primary advantages of trailer disc brake axles is their ability to dissipate heat effectively. This is especially important during long hauls or when descending steep grades, where braking can generate significant heat. The increased braking efficiency minimizes the risk of brake fade, ensuring that the trailer remains controllable and safe during operation.

Maintenance of trailer disc brake axles is essential to ensure their longevity and reliability. Regular inspections should include checking the brake pads for wear, examining the rotors for any signs of damage or warping, and ensuring that the brake calipers are functioning correctly. It’s also important to inspect the axle bearings and seals for any signs of wear or leaking grease, as these can lead to more significant issues if not addressed promptly.

In addition to routine inspections, it’s advisable to clean the braking components regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and debris, which can affect performance. Lubricating the moving parts and ensuring that the brake fluid is at the proper level are also critical steps in maintaining optimal performance.
