Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles – 95″ Long – 7,000 lbs

Description

Dexter Trailer Axles – 8327834

Round trailer axle beam measures 95″ from hub face to hub face (when hubs – sold separately – are mounted) and 80″ from spring center to spring center. E-Z Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).

Features:

• Round axle beam acts as part of your trailer’s suspension system
  • Replace an axle on your trailer
  • Fabricate a suspension to fit your application
• High-strength steel construction
• Bend in axle creates zero camber angle for even road-to-tread contact across the width of your trailer’s tires
  • Best for straight-line acceleration and steady, controlled towing
• Underslung design – spring seats welded to underside of axle for mounting leaf springs (sold separately)
  • Low ride height makes it easier to load and unload your trailer
• Straight, E-Z Lube spindles – no drop
  • Built-in grease zerks for simple lubrication
• Spring seats, brake flanges, and spindles are welded on
• Made in the USA

Specs:

• Weight capacity: 7,000 lbs
• Hub-face-to-hub-face length: 95″
• Spring-center-to-spring-center length: 80″
• Tubing outer diameter: 3″
• Bearings (sold separately):
  • Inner bearing: 25580
  • Outer bearing: 14125A
• Brake flange configuration: 5 bolt
• Limited 5-year warranty

Axle Dimensions

There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).

The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.

If you are replacing your trailer’s axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer’s capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.

E-Z Lube Spindles Make Lubrication Simple

The E-Z Lube spindles on this axle are meant to work with E-Z Lube-compatible hubs to make lubricating your bearings quick and easy. Each E-Z Lube spindle has a zerk fitting on the end. And every E-Z Lube hub comes with a grease cap that has an easy-to-remove rubber plug. Just pop out the plug on the cap to access the zerk on the spindle. When you inject grease into the zerk with a grease gun, the grease will flow to both the inner and outer bearings of the hub, lubricating the bearings and forcing out old, ineffective grease. Once you see new grease beginning to be pushed out, you know that your bearings are fully lubricated. This means that you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.

Dexters

Dexters are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.

Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer’s tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.
