Types of Stub Axle

Lamoine type stub axle:
 
The Front axle beam end forms eye to take support on the Stub axle
 
The Stub axle and King pin are integrated to form reverse L- shape assembly to receive 
the front axle.
 
The thrust washer is placed between stub axle and front axle beam.

The cotter pin in the joint is used to lock the front axle in position.


The king pin is free to move (swing or oscillate) in the Phosphor bronze bushes placed in 
 
the eye of the front axle.


The thrust washer takes the vertical load in the joint. 


The use of thrust washer increases the life of both the stub axle and front axle.
