Axle systems are mechanical parts with two wheels or gears rotating around a central shaft, often known as an axle. It is most used in cars, carriages , and trains to support the weight of the vehicle and transfer power from the engine to the wheels.
In the modern car axle system, the engine transmits power to the transmission, which then sends it to the driveshaft and differential. The differential after that transmits force to the wheels through the axles, allowing the vehicle to move either forward or backward.
Axle systems are crucial because they sustain the weight of the vehicle in addition to transferring power. The vehicle can go across uneven terrain with ease with the help of the axles, which give the wheels a firm basis on which to rotate. A vehicle couldn’t move without axles, and even if it did, it would be extremely unstable and deadly.
