Accuride Announces New Fabco™ Steerable Drive Axle Family

Accuride Corporation’s Fabco™ division has released its new FSD-23 low-profile Steerable Drive Axle family. The new line of Fabco axles offers customers a lighter weight and lower height solution for heavy-duty all wheel drive vehicles.

“Fabco’s new low-profile Steerable Drive Axle will assist truck manufacturers in their efforts to maintain a low cab height in vehicles with larger engines which normally make installation of front drive axles more difficult,” said Al Sunderland, president of Fabco. “The low profile axle design utilizes a high torque capacity and compact single reduction differential assembly to reduce the axle profile compared to previous Fabco and current competitor axles. Additionally, the optimized Fabco fabricated steel housing design can result in significant weight savings relative to competing products.

The FSD-23 axle is developed for severe service applications such as military, oil field, construction, mining, wildland fire, and municipal utility. Fabco All Wheel Drive components are either the exclusive offering or standard position offering at most North American severe service commercial vehicle OEMs.
