Truck and Tractor Axle, Brake and Transfer Case Applications and Ratings
The permitted use of axles, brakes, transfer cases and other components, including the capacity ratings that are
shown, vary with application and service. Applications and installation must be approved by Meritor’s
engineering departments.
Failure to gain applications approval, or use of componentry in non-approved applications can void Meritor’s warranty
coverage. Refer to publication TP-9441, Axle Application Guidelines, for vocational guidelines on axle applications.
Products not listed are not approvable in rescue applications.
Variations in tire size, transmissions, engine power and torque, duty cycle and route terrain affect application
approvals. All ratios are not necessarily approvable for the Gross Axle Weight (GAW) and Gross Combination
Weight (GCW) limits listed.
For information about other Meritor components, contact your Meritor representative or call OnTrac
Customer Service Center at 866-OnTrac1 (668-7221). You can also access this and other Meritor publications by visiting

CARRIER TYPE
Carrier size. Larger numbers indicate a higher
GCW rated carrier; i.e., larger ring gear, etc.
(Also refer to Tridem Axle Note 2 below)
NOTE 2, FOR TRIDEM AXLES ONLY:
For a Tridem Drive Axle Set (RZ), the number
in the sixth position designates the carrier in
the first axle. The number in the seventh
position designates the carriers in the second
and third axles.
HUB TYPE
A = Aluminum
C = Cast Spoke Wheel
F = Ferrous
N = None
*NOTE: This position will be used to designate hub only until more
than three digits are required to designate axle specification.
AXLE DESIGN VARIATION
Indicates axle design level or variation, (e.g., RS 23 161 has a thicker wall
housing than the RS 23 160). For information, refer to the Bill of Materials
for that specific axle model. (Also refer to Tridem Axle Note 2 below.)
NOTE 1: If a complete axle designation is not required, use the first seven
positions of the model designation to identify the basic axle model.
RS 17 145 = Single Rear Drive, 17,000 lbs., Single Speed, 15" Ring Gear,
145 Carrier Model.
RT 52 380 = Tandem Drive Axle Set, 52,000 lbs., Helical Double-Reduction,
19.62" Ring Rear, 380 Carrier Model.
RZ 60 164 = Tridem Drive Axle Set, 60,000 lbs., Single Speed, Includes a 160
Series Forward Rear or First Axle and a 145 Series Tandem Axle
Set as the Second and Third Axles.
NOTE 3: The term “Tandem Split” refers to when there is a difference between the Forward
axle and Rear axle of the Tandem or Tridem axle set when the Tandem or Tridem axle set
part number is used. The value to the left of the “/” references the Forward axle, and the
number to the right of the “/” references the Rear axle. For information related to the Middle
axle of a Tridem axle set part number, refer to the Bills of Material.
