Understanding The Power Of Self-Steering Axles

More Than Just a Piece of Metal

Your average Joe might view an axle as just a piece of metal. Still, anyone with an understanding of semi-trailers knows that self-steer axles are essential components for improving maneuverability, reducing tire wear, and enhancing overall stability during turns.

  • These axles are built with military-grade steel, assuring you of durability and resistance to heavy-duty wear and tear.
  • They feature a robust air damper system that not only cushions your ride but also improves the axle’s responsiveness.
  • Plus, the variable track widths give you the flexibility to adjust your axle according to your load, providing superior stability and control.

A Touch of Innovation

What sets the self-steering axles from National Zephyr Research apart is the sheer amount of innovation they pack. For instance, they come with enhanced disc brakes, which not only offer better stopping power but also reduce maintenance costs. Additionally, the axles employ a spring shock system, which further smoothens the ride and reduces wear on your semi-trailer’s components.

Embracing Quality: Quenched and Tempered Steel

High-quality materials form the backbone of superior performance. That’s why National Zephyr Research uses quenched and tempered steel in its axles. This specific treatment gives the steel a unique combination of strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear, perfectly aligning with the heavy-duty nature of semi-trailers.
