HANOVER, Germany, Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana
Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today launched its new
Spicer® 175 series single drive axle,
offering the industry's lowest numeric gear ratio, 1.95:1, for
optimum engine downspeeding. The axle is ideal for European
heavy-duty vehicles and is well suited for various global
applications, including North American linehaul trucks.
The Spicer 175 series is Dana's most efficient and reliable
single heavy-duty drive axle and is supported by a host of
performance-optimizing features, including a differential case
design with a premium integrated ring gear for reduced weight and
oil churning losses, and precision AdvanTEK® gearing for
improved efficiency. Weighing 27 kilograms less than previous
products, the Spicer 175 series maximizes freight tonnes per
kilometer and is approved for up to 52 tonnes gross combination
weight rating.
"Dana engineering teams are continuously innovating to enhance
vehicle performance and optimize up-time for applications anywhere
in the world," said Mark Wallace,
president of Dana Commercial Vehicle Driveline Technologies.
"The Spicer 175 series incorporates established Spicer axle design
elements while adding pioneering features to further advance
vehicle efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership."
Offering a broad range of gear ratios, from an industry-low
1.95:1 to 3.42:1, the Spicer 175 series features Spicer High-Power
Density™ AdvanTEK® technology to support engines up to
600 hp and 2,750 Nm of torque. The new axle also includes
high-strength pinion bearings, which allow for greater lifespan
under heavy loads. An autonomous lube management system
requires less lube while utilizing a patent-pending meter to
optimize the amount of lube flow to the high-efficiency
bearings.
The new heavy-duty single drive axle series can also be paired
with the Spicer SPL® 250 and 350
driveshafts, which are designed to meet the durability requirements
for faster axle ratios and lower engine speeds. Also
available for use with the Spicer 175 series single axle are the
Spicer Compact™ Series Plus 2060 and 2065
driveshafts, featuring a weight reduction of up to 10 percent and
the potential to increase the life of the driveshaft by as much as
25 percent.
Dana will exhibit its industry-leading technologies, including
Spicer Electrified with TM4 innovations, in Hall 17, Stand A24 at
IAA. For more information, visit
