  • Axle shaft assembly
    Patent number: 9045001
    Abstract: An axle shaft is fabricated from two separate pieces. The axle shaft is comprised of an axle shaft body having a forged initial flange portion formed at one end. An axle shaft flange, fabricated by stamping or casting for example, is secured to the forged initial flange portion at a weld interface to form a finished axle shaft.
    Type: Grant

  • Axle housing cover with variable thickness
    Publication number: 20040103748
    Abstract: An axle housing cover is provided including a generally dome-shaped portion having a first thickness with the dome-shaped portion terminating in a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge has a second thickness greater than the first thickness with the perimeter edge providing a weld surface. Preferably, the second thickness is sufficiently thicker than the first thickness to provide adequate size and strength for the weld. The second thickness provides a weld height greater than the first thickness. Since the dome-shaped portion has a reduced thickness, reinforcing ribs may be formed in the dome-shaped portion to provide increased structural integrity. The cover may include a flange extending radially from the cover, which provides the weld surface that is then welded to the axle housing.

  • Axle housing cover with variable thickness
    Publication number: 20020134194
    Abstract: An axle housing cover is provided including a generally dome-shaped portion having a first thickness with the dome-shaped portion terminating in a perimeter edge. The perimeter edge has a second thickness greater than the first thickness with the perimeter edge providing a weld surface. Preferably, the second thickness is approximately twice that of the first thickness. Since the dome-shaped portion has a reduced thickness, reinforcing ribs may be formed in the dome-shaped portion to provide increased structural integrity. The cover may include a flange extending radially from the cover, which provides the weld surface that is then welded to the axle housing. The axle housing cover may be formed by a stamping or a hydroforming process.
