Abstract: A bevel gear wheel end assembly having a housing, an input bevel gear, at least one driven bevel gear and a stationary bevel gear. The input bevel gear meshes with at least one driven bevel gear, at least one driven bevel gear is mounted on a shaft fixed relative to the housing, and at least one driven bevel gear meshes with the stationary bevel gear such that rotation of the input bevel gear about a drive axis at a first speed causes rotation of the housing about the drive axis at a second speed. An oil relief arrangement is provided in the shaft of at least one driven bevel gear.

Abstract: An actuator for a tire inflation system, the actuator having a first component that has a first fluid passage and a second component having a second fluid passage and a sealing surface for sealing engagement with a rotatable component of a wheel assembly. The second component is movable relative to the first component between a first position, in which the first fluid passage is isolated from the second fluid passage and the sealing surface is spaced from the rotatable component, and a second position, in which the first fluid passage is in fluid communication with the second fluid passage and the sealing surface is in sealing engagement with a rotatable component.

Abstract: A differential lock actuator having a lock detection assembly. The differential lock actuator has a push rod configured to be movable within a housing between a first position and a second position for activation/deactivation of a differential locking system. The lock detection assembly is adapted to detect a position of the push rod and has a first detector component connected to a removable part of the housing.
