An axle that is an axle

The Hupmobile rear axle is of the full floating type- a type almost wholly restricted to cars of the highest price.

The chief advantage of this type is that no load whatever is carred on the axle shafts. They do nothing but drive the wheels.

The Hupmobile housing is built up of the two tapered steel tubes, 1, 1, the maleable iron central housing, 2 and 3; and the propeller shaft housing tube, 4- five pieces which form a case so strong and rigid that it does not require the support of truss rods.

The tubes, 1, 1, carry the weight of the car. Each wheel ruins on two sets of roller bearings, 13 and 14- 13 takes the load- 14 takes care of the side strains.

Thus, the axle shafts, 8, are freed to do the driving, with flanges bolted to the wheels at 15.

The large roller bearing, 5, 5, take only the up and down loads from the differential, the end thrust bearing being taken by two ball bearings just outside the rollers. One of these is shown at 6.

In mounting the bevel driving pinion, we use two roller bearings, 9 and 10, instead of one, placing one on each side of the gear. They hold it in perfect and permanent alignment, while the balls bearings, 11, take the end thrust.

Two threaded adjusters, 7,7, are used in our axle to set the bevel gear so that the proper mesh with the driving pinion is secured and retained.
