Abstract

Portal axle unit is a gearbox unit installed on every end axles of the vehicle. It is installed to the vehicle to give higher ground clearance to enable vehicle to go over large obstacle when driving in off-road conditions. Shafts must be exceptionally tough and lightweight to improve the overall performance of the portal axle unit. In this paper, the shaft is analyzed in three-dimensional model and the stress of the shaft model is analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA). The FEA result is compared with experimental results.
