In the design of electric UTV (multi-purpose vehicle), the choice of rear axle structure is crucial to vehicle performance. For our six-wheeled electric UTV MIJIE18-E, the rear axle has a semi-floating design, ensuring a climb capacity of up to 38% at a full load of 1,000 kg. This paper will explain in detail the theoretical basis of semi-floating rear axle design and its significant advantages.
The basic principle of semi-floating rear axle design
The semi-floating rear axle design is a common rear axle structure design, which is characterized by the bearing located at both ends of the axle and the wheel directly fixed to the axle. This design method is more compact and lighter than a fully floating rear axle, while the manufacturing and maintenance costs are relatively low. MIJIE18-E adopts this design, which not only improves the overall performance of the vehicle, but also brings more practical application advantages to the user.
Enhanced load capacity and stability
Although the semi-floating rear axle is slightly less strong than the full-floating design under heavy load conditions, the MIJIE18-E six-wheeled electric UTV can fully meet the requirement of a full load of 1000KG. The vehicle is equipped with a maximum torque of 78.9NM and an axle-speed ratio of 1:15, ensuring good traction and climbing ability under heavy loads. In this design, the semi-floating rear axle plays a role in enhancing the load capacity and improving the stability of the vehicle.
Reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs
The relatively simple structural design of the semi-floating rear axle makes it more cost-effective during manufacturing and maintenance. This is particularly important for applications such as industry and agriculture, where equipment typically requires high durability and low maintenance costs. MIJIE18-E adopts this design, which reduces the trouble and cost of later maintenance, and improves the use economy and reliability of the vehicle.
Improved vehicle handling
The structure of the semi-floating rear axle is relatively simple, which makes the overall weight distribution of the vehicle more balanced and improves the handling performance. This design by MIJIE18-E is particularly important for scenarios that require frequent turning and operational flexibility, such as agricultural field work and construction sites. The vehicle performed well under both light and heavy load conditions, with a braking distance of 9.64 m with an empty car and 13.89 m with a full load, reflecting good dynamic performance.
Expand application and customization capabilities
The semi-floating rear axle design enables MIJIE18-E to perform well in different application fields, with broad room for improvement and customization. Whether it is special transportation, agricultural operations or emergency rescue, the semi-floating design can be used. According to the specific needs of customers, our manufacturers can provide flexible customized services, adjust the rear axle and other key parameters to meet the requirements of different working environments.
Conclusion
In summary, the semi-floating rear axle design provides a solid guarantee for the high performance of the MIJIE18-E electric UTV. Its advantages in load capacity, manufacturing and maintenance costs, handling performance, and customization make it up to the challenges in a variety of application scenarios. In the future, we will continue to work on optimizing this design to provide more efficient and reliable electric UTV solutions.
