A limited oil displacement system is positioned within a tandem housing of a tandem of a work vehicle. The tandem includes a tandem oil where a chain assembly is at least partially submerged. The limited oil displacement system may include one or more oil displacement unit used for displacing the tandem oil. The oil displacement unit has an upper portion and a lower portion coupled to and positioned under the upper portion. A volume of the upper portion is larger than a volume of the lower portion such that when the tandem of the work vehicle pivots about a lateral axis, the oil displacement unit displaces the tandem oil more than when the tandem of the work vehicle remains horizontally.

A network including a sensory assembly having a first wire coil coupled to a stationary component, and a spaced apart second wire coil coupled to a movable component. An interstice is formed between the wire coils. The stationary first wire coil is employed in a primary electrical circuit and the movable second wire coil is employed in a second electrical circuit. A magnet flux field permits at least a portion of an electrical current varied as a function of a parameter of the movable component to be transmitted between the electrical circuits.

A rear axle assembly designed to fit within a predefined rear axle envelope of a transportation vehicle. The rear axle assembly comprising first and second double wheel hubs each supporting a pair of tires, a rear axial offset with respect to a central axis of the rear axle assembly, a rear axle input for receiving a drive input, first and second portal housings which facilitate respectively connecting the rear axial the first and the second double wheel hubs, a four-point control arm for connecting the rear axle to a chassis, first and second spring carriers each carrying a smaller and larger diameter air bellows, first and second longitudinal arms which interconnected the rear axle to the chassis, and first and second shock absorbers each located generally at or adjacent to the central axis and radially between the first double wheel hub and the first spring carrier.

A gear assembly includes gears, housing components joined to one another about the gears, and a gasket. Each housing component includes an axial end wall and a sidewall projecting axially from the axial end wall. The sidewall of each housing component has an axial end surface that faces the axial end surface of the other housing component. One of the housing components includes a rib that projects axially from the axial end wall thereof and is spaced inward from the sidewall thereof. The gasket includes a seal portion and a baffle portion. The seal portion is disposed between the axial end surfaces of the housing components to create a seal therebetween. The baffle portion extends inward from the seal portion and cooperates with the rib, the sidewall, and the axial end wall to form a channel configured guide drainage of lubricant thrown from at least one of the gears.

Provided herein is an electric axle assembly including an axle housing; a motor/generator having an output shaft drivingly connected thereto, wherein the output shaft has an output gear rotatably mounted thereon; a differential assembly housed in a differential housing and drivingly connected to a pair of axle half shafts having a pair of wheels attached to the ends thereof; and a two-speed transmission housed in the axle housing and drivingly connected to the output gear and the differential assembly, wherein the output shaft drivingly connects the motor/generator to the differential assembly.

A drive line arrangement for self-propelled agricultural product applicator includes an engine connected to a remotely mounted pump arrangement by a driveshaft that passes through an axle of a frame of the applicator. The axle includes an axle tube extending transversely across the frame and defining front and rear facing surfaces of the axle tube, and a tubular-shaped tunnel fixedly attached to and extending through the axle from the front to the rear facing surfaces of the axle tube, and defining an internal opening of the tunnel for passage of the driveshaft through the tunnel. The tunnel extends beyond at least one of the front and rear facing surfaces of the axle tube to structurally reinforce the axle tube around the opening in the tunnel.

A wheel support bearing assembly includes a wheel support bearing and a power unit. The power unit is that of an outer rotor design in which a stator is located at an outer periphery of the wheel support bearing and a rotor is located radially outward of the stator. A radial extension of the entire power unit is sized to be radially inward of a peripheral section of a brake rotor. An entirety of the power unit, excluding a mount part thereof to a hub flange, is sized to be situated in an axial range between the hub flange and a mount surface, on an inboard side of the wheel support bearing. The rotor includes an outer shell magnetic body, which is made from soft magnetic material and forms an outer shell of the power unit, and permanent magnets that are provided to the outer shell magnetic body.

An adjustable portal box assembly for selectively mounting a wheel to an off road vehicle in either of two positions. The assembly includes a mounting plate mountable to the suspension of an off road vehicle, and a portal box is mountable to the mounting plate. The portal box includes an input shaft opening for an input shaft, and an output opening for an output shaft. The portal box is mountable to the mounting plate in a first position in which the output shaft is positioned to extend the wheelbase relative to the input shaft, or in a second position in which the output shaft is positioned in vertical alignment with the input shaft.

A guard for protecting a drain plug and a ground-facing surface of an axle housing on a machine including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a body configured to be mounted to the axle housing to protect at least portion of the ground-facing surface of the axle housing. The body includes an opening configured to allow access to and removal of the drain plug through the opening. The second portion is removably couplable to the first portion. When the second portion is attached to the first portion, the second portion covers the opening to protect the drain plug. When the second portion is removed, the drain plug is accessible and removable to service oil in the axle housing.

A bearing axle with straight shell and hollow cross section, is characterized in that the horizontal cross section of the axle housing is hollow, space of which is laid out an electric motor, a gearshift, a final drive and a differential. The advantages of the invention are as follows: the electric motor, final drive and differential integrated on the electric drive axle are fixed on the chassis to reduce the unsprung mass. The height of the motor is increased to change its adverse operation circumstances and the electric motor is not easy to be demagnetized. If the transmission is used, the gearshift on the spring is smoother than the gearshift under the spring.
