1400 Series | Axles | John Deere US

Inboard planetary final drive design
Increases tire size flexibility since the planetary does not compete for wheel space
Enables a wider variety of acceptable track widths than outboard designs
One integral oiling and cooling system
Independent or dual service brake actuation
Spiral bevel gear set design allows bi-directional operation
Input housings designed for use with oscillation hardware
Spring applied hydraulic release or manually applied park brakes are available on fixed mounted axles
Inboard wet brakes increase reliability and provide spark-free operation for regulatory compliance in hazardous environments
Inboard planetary design reduces heat transfer to tires
One oil supply is used for all planetary, brake and differential components, for better component cooling

We can "custom build" an axle to your specific feature, torque and load requirements. Our building block design consists of twelve modules of varying sizes, load capacity, ratios and specifications.
We will select the torque and load carrying capacity that best suits your application
Three axle families to better match your load and torque requirements
Gray or ductile iron axle housings for improved load matching
Standard or heavy-duty wheel bearings selected based on load requirements
Standard or extra wide planetaries available for better torque, shock and reverse load matching

The Final drives and Spiral Bevel gear set along with the structural components are designed for extreme applications
Planetaries not packaged into the wheel, allowing for larger size, which effectively handles torque and forward-reverse transitions making them more reliable
Sliding tooth contact of the spiral bevel gear set is minimized for longer life
A large oil sump ensures cool operation which allows longer life of the Spiral Bevel gear set, final drives, differential, differential bearings and pinion bearings
Inboard wet disk brakes are protected from contaminants and can last up to four times longer than dry disk brakes
Inboard wet disk brakes operate cooler and last longer due to large sump
No brake lines at the wheel end requiring protection
Inboard wet brakes provide spark-free operation for regulatory compliance in hazardous environments

Application engineers ensure axle specifications meet your vehicle torque, load,and operating performance requirements
