Question 1

Can a Volvo loader wheel shaft be fitted on a dump truck?

Accepted Answer

No. The shafts for L-series loaders and A-series dump trucks differ in length and spline count. Even within a family, shafts for L150E and L150G vary. Provide us with the part reference or, failing that, the full designation and machine serial number: we verify compatibility before shipping.

Question 2

What is the wheel axle called?

Accepted Answer

On a machine, the axle driving the wheel is called the wheel shaft or half-shaft, since each side of the axle has its own. The fixed part around which the hub rotates is named differently: spindle for a steering axle, trumpet for a rigid axle. The axle term refers to the whole assembly with both wheels.

Question 3

What is the definition of a half-shaft?

Accepted Answer

A half-shaft links one side of the differential to its corresponding wheel. It’s called a half-shaft because an axle has two, left and right. On Volvo loaders and dump trucks, it drives the planetary gear reducer housed in the hub.

Question 4

What is the price of a driveshaft?

Accepted Answer

Four factors determine it: the original machine, length, position on the line, and condition of splines or cross bearings. At comparable condition, a used original part generally costs less than new. Send us the reference or model of your Volvo machine for a quote.

Question 5

How is a driveshaft balanced?

Accepted Answer

Balancing is done on a specialized bench: the shaft spins at operating speed, sensors detect imbalance, then the workshop adds or removes small weights until vibrations stop. This requires a transmission specialist. For used original shafts, keep existing weights and align the yoke mark during reassembly.

Question 6

What is the difference between a driveshaft and a universal joint?

Accepted Answer

The universal joint is the articulated joint with cross bearings that allows rotation despite an angle between two shafts. The driveshaft refers to the entire assembly: a tube, a slide, and a universal joint at each end. Commonly, the whole is called "driveshaft". On Volvo EW excavators, the front wheel shaft also includes such a joint.

Question 7

Is a Volvo truck wheel shaft or driveshaft suitable for a construction machine?

Accepted Answer

No. Volvo FH or FM trucks and Volvo construction machines use different axles and drive lines, sized for different loads and speeds. For a Volvo loader, dump truck, or excavator, only a part from a construction machine with the same reference will fit.
