The description of an axle is a central shaft meant for rotating a wheel or a gear. Where wheeled motor vehicles are concerned, the axle itself may be connected to the wheels and turn with them. In this particular instance, bushings or bearings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle may be fixed to its surroundings and the wheels could in turn revolve around the axle. In this particular instance, a bearing or bushing is situated within the hole inside the wheel to allow the gear or wheel to rotate all-around the axle.
If referring to trucks and cars, some references to the word axle co-occur in casual usage. Normally, the term means the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself rotates with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and referred to as an 'axle shaft' or an 'axle.' It is equally true that the housing around it that is usually known as a casting is likewise known as an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the word means every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Therefore, even transverse pairs of wheels in an independent suspension are generally called 'an axle.'
The axles are an integral component in a wheeled motor vehicle. The axle serves to transmit driving torque to the wheel in a live-axle suspension system. The position of the wheels is maintained by the axles relative to one another and to the motor vehicle body. In this particular system the axles should even be able to support the weight of the motor vehicle plus whichever load. In a non-driving axle, like the front beam axle in several two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there would be no shaft. The axle in this particular situation works only as a steering part and as suspension. Various front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.
There are various types of suspension systems wherein the axles function just to transmit driving torque to the wheels. The angle and position of the wheel hubs is a function of the suspension system. This is often seen in the independent suspension seen in nearly all new sports utility vehicles, on the front of many light trucks and on most brand new cars. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It can be attached to the motor vehicle frame or body or likewise can be integral in a transaxle.
