differential or axle housing. It reinforces a solid axle so that it does not bend or break when the axle's load rating is exceeded. A larger/thicker axle is stronger...

exception to this rule is the independent (rear) swing axle suspension, wherein the half-axles are also load-bearing suspension arms. Independent drive-trains...

wheel and axle can be viewed as a version of the Lever, with a drive force applied tangentially to the perimeter of the wheel, and a load force applied...

formula does not reduce axle load allowance, rather gross vehicle weight (GVW), which can affect load distribution and actual axle weights. "Curb Weight...

88 electric loco, was never built. The Class 37 has a relatively low axle loading for its size and power. With the withdrawal of most of the smaller types...
