About torsion axle
Torsion axles offer a low-maintenance, reliable, quiet, smooth ride. Mastervim torsion axles make it simple to have peace of mind while trailer towing.
Torsion axles have taken the trailer industry by storm in recent years. The boom in usage can be attributed to the many benefits that torsion axles offer over standard spring axles. Their innovative design provides an array of benefits and avoids many of the shortfalls that have commonly been found in traditional spring axles.
Torsion Axle Benefits
No Maintenance
Torsion axles have a very simple design, using rubber cords and an inner bar, rather than the large array of parts found in a spring axle. The simplicity of this design means that there is little to no maintenance that needs to be done. All you have to do is lube your wheel bearings.
Smooth, Quiet Ride
Torsion axles function using a simple design that utilizes the compression of rubber cords inside the axle to cushion the trailer. This twisting and compression motion is very smooth and it rides nicely even when there is no load. Furthermore, there is no metal-to-metal contact inside the axle making it quieter and less abrasive.
Reliable
Torsion axles have fewer moving parts than traditional forms of trailer suspension. As mentioned earlier, there is no metal-to-metal contact within the axles components. This means that there are no CZPT parts rubbing against each other, causing wear or corrosion. Likewise, the rubber construction means that the axles are more corrosion resistant.
Versatility
Torsion axles can be used in an extensive range of applications, due to the ease of adjustment. To change the height of a torsion axle, the torsion bars just need to be adjusted. Additionally, half-torsion units can be used, meaning that the application does not need an axle that passes under the entire trailer. This opens up the opportunity for many custom applications and can provide benefits such as additional ground clearance.
When is it better than a Spring Axle?
They are particularly advantageous over springs axles for applications like:
- Marine/Boat trailers
- Rough/bumpy surfaces
- When much lower or higher ride height is needed
- High vibration applications (like wood chippers or generators)
- Custom applications
- Applications with limited mounting space
- Corrosive environments (like saltwater)
Torsion Axles can improve your trailer-towing experience.

Different Types of Axles
An axle is the central shaft of a gear or wheel. It can be mounted to a wheel or to the vehicle itself, and will rotate with the wheels and vehicle. It may also contain bearings. Some vehicles have different types of axles, including Live, Split, Tandem, and Drop-out axles.
Live axle
A beam axle, also called a rigid axle, is a type of dependent suspension system. It connects a set of wheels lateral to one another. In previous times, beam axles were used in the rear of a vehicle, and later on, as the front axle in four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Live axles are also popular on trucks. They can provide better traction and keep the vehicle at a constant height. This is especially helpful for off-road vehicles. Those vehicles are typically driven slowly and the suspension is not as important as handling and cornering. Nonetheless, some trucks still use this design. It can be a great option if you are looking for a vehicle that handles well.
Live axles have a number of drawbacks. The front end of a live axle can destabilize and affect cornering grip. They also require a means of locating the axle, which may be an issue with heavy or lightweight vehicles. Leaf springs can help in this regard. Alternatively, you can opt for an independent rear axle.
Live axles are a great option for drag racing vehicles. They offer better traction and a better structural base than a conventional full floater axle assembly. They also allow for increased gear life and reduce rear end distortion.
Split-axle
If you aren’t sure how to make split axles, you’re not alone. The process can be very difficult, and the parts can get mixed up. The key is to know how to create the proper alignment for your axles. Thankfully, there are some tools that can make this job a breeze.
Split axles have two components: a bolt head 30 that acts as a stop during relative pivotal movement. The axle assembly 16 is then pivotally mounted between the brackets and the frame. During pivotal movement, the bolt head 30 acts as a stop and prevents the axle from moving too far either way. This is done to maintain the pad 28 at a predetermined compression level. This allows the axle to perform a smooth and consistent drive.
Split axles are a common feature of modern vehicles. This type of suspension system provides greater traction, and it allows the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds. It also prolongs the life of tires, and increases traction.
Tandem
A tandem axle trailer is a great choice for hauling large loads. This style of trailer comes with more features and is more stable. These trailers are usually available in 16′, 18′, or 20′ lengths. They are also available with 8,500, or 10,000 GVW capacities. They are a great choice for hauling large loads on main highways.
Tandem axles are commonly used on trucks. Each axle features a drive mechanism, and are attached to the engine power unit. There are two types of tandem axles, one with a standard differential and the other with a power divider. Drivers may have trouble figuring out which axle is driving the truck at different times, so it is important to understand how each type of axle works.
While there are some common rules that apply to tandem axles, there are also some exceptions. In some cases, a single axle has a lower weight limit than a tandem axle, and the two axles must be at least 40 inches apart.
Drop-out
Drop-out axles are used to connect the dropouts of a bike frame. When using dropouts, make sure the distance between the axles is 110mm. Then use a clamp to squeeze the dropouts together. Make sure to measure both dropouts carefully, because a 1mm difference in the width can cause a lot of trouble.
The 9″ drop-out axle was produced from the late 1950s to 1986. They were made in trucks and cars, but not in motorcycles. To use this axle in a 1990 LTD CV, you will need to make several modifications to the mounting of the axle and connection to the drive line. You will also need to consider installing a parking brake. Moreover, this axle is not compatible with the Panther platform. In fact, the drop-out axle is available in several variations.
Drop-out axles are also known as single-speed. The lower part is called the semi-horizontal dropout, while the upper part is called the vertical dropout. This dropout includes an eyelet for mounting a fender or rack.
Czpt
The Czpt axle is a popular choice for a wide variety of vehicles. Initially used in heavy-duty pickup trucks, it was eventually adopted by all major automakers in the U.S., including Ford, Dodge, and Chrysler. It also became popular as a front differential on 4WD vehicles.
Czpt axles are easy to recognize, and the numbering system is consistent regardless of the vehicle model. The axle’s model number is found on the right lower web of the housing near the pinion yoke. It is also stamped on the axle tube. If you can’t find the axle model number, you can find it on Czpt’s website.
Czpt axles are also recognizable by their Bill of Materials (BOM) number. This is like a vehicle’s VIN number, and it identifies the axle’s gear ratio, model number, and component parts. A Czpt axle’s BOM number starts with 60 or 61.
The Czpt axle is the most common axle size in Jeeps. The Czpt 30 axle is the standard, and can be found on most Jeeps. The YJ version of this axle uses a reverse cut ring and pinion, while the TJ version does not. It is made from 5×4.5 inch bolts.
Universal joint
A universal joint is a component that connects two wheels to one another. This component is made to replace worn out or damaged parts on axles. They are also used to repair and replace brakes and drive shaft yokes. The universal joint can be purchased at an auto parts store or online. To replace a universal joint, you need to remove the axle shaft and the front brakes.
The universal joint is a flexible pivot point that transfers power between two shafts. In order to work properly, it must be flexible enough to compensate for changes in the driveline angle. These changes may be due to changing terrain. The universal joint is an important part of the driveline. It is used in both manual and automatic transmissions.
A universal joint should be serviced regularly to maintain its performance. If your universal joint squeaks while driving, it is a sign that it needs to be serviced. A lubricant can help extend the life of a u-joint.
Spindle
Your vehicle’s axle consists of two main components: the hub and the spindle. The spindle rides on the hub, which can become damaged or lose its shape when it hits something. The spindle is also prone to wear from high mileage, and its threads can be damaged. If you suspect that your spindle needs to be replaced, there are several options available.
Axle spindles can be installed in one of three ways. The typical assembly includes bolted spindles on the ends of a tubular axle. The axle is then suspended by springs. Another type of mounting involves a torsion beam on the axle leg, which acts as a spring. It flexes and bends to provide the turning motion. The axle spindle can be a replacement part for your trailer, and there are towing supplies and professionals who can do it for you.
