Axle Dimensions

Hub Face and Spring Center Measurements on Standard Trailer Axle

There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).


The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.


If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.


etrailer Axles

etrailer axles are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.


Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.

  • Recommended 2,000 Lb Trailer Axle with Brakes for Small Trailer
    The best option we could provide you with is the Trailer Idler Axle Beam part # e48GR which measures 60" long and has a 2,000 lb weight capacity. It's not setup for brakes so in order to equip them you'd need to have a brake mounting flange welded on, the Brake Mounting Flange for 1-3/4" Round Trailer Axles part # 4-34. This will then allow you to add brakes like the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2 and hubs/drums like the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles...

  • Should There Be a Washer Between Outer Bearing and Castle Nut on etrailer 2,000 lb Trailer Axle
    It is not required to install a washer between the outer bearing and the castle nut on the Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles part # e48GR. That said, it's not a bad idea to use one and I recommend this to ensure there is no damage to the outer bearing. For this, we have the Washer For 1" Spindle part # SW1000.

  • Option For 60 Inch Trailer AxleSince it appears nobody makes hubs for my
    We do have axles with 60 inch hub face to hub face measurements. This is a 2,000 lb axle, though the spring centers measure 48 inches. What you can do though is have new springs welded on at the location you need with Spring Seat # TRSS175. This axle is the Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 60" Long - 2,000 lbs # e48GR. Then for the hubs, the right one for you will depend on if you need a hub with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern or 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, as well as your wheel...

  • Is There a Replacement Hub for Trailer with LM11948 Outer Bearing
    I do have an option for you although we don't have a set of hubs which use the LM11948 bearing. Therefore, the only option we can offer is a new axle which allows you to upgrade to a standard hub/drum and braking assembly. In order to choose the correct replacement you'll need to know the weight capacity, hub face length, and spring center length. The Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles part # e48GR for example has a 2,000 lb weight capacity, measures 60" long at the hub face,...

  • Solution for Replacement Hubs on Northern Tool Ultra-Tow 49803 Aluminum Trailer
    The bearings on your Ultra-Tow trailer are the 30205. Unfortunately, we don't carry any hubs that use this bearing combination. They aren't the easiest to find and I doubt you'll find them galvanized. There may be a 5 lug option out there but again it isn't something that we have. It is also worth mentioning that clearance could be an issue moving to a larger tire so keep that in mind. If you aren't able to find a replacement that fits your criteria with those bearings the second best...

  • Recommended Replacement 3.5k Axle for a Trailer
    Hey Trapper, so I took a look at what we have based off of those measurements you provided and it looks like we only carry 2k # e48GR and 2,200 lb axles # T20BTR-EZ-6048 with those measurements. You could also use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR3500S05 which would work the same, but would also require you to swap out both axles. The axle-less system has a 3.5k capacity, a 4 bolt mounting flange, has built in camber and toe in to reduce wear on your tires, and works independently...

  • Will The Trailer Idler Axle Beam Work With Dexter 8-01A Hubs?
    I wasn't able to find any information on your Dexter hubs, however the Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e48GR that you mention will work with a Replacement Trailer Hub Bearing # L44649 and the Grease Seal # 58846. So, as long as your Dexter 8-01A hubs have the same measurements, this should fit with no issues.

  • 60 inch 2k Trailer Axle for PWC Trailer
    Based on the dimensions you mentioned the axle part # e48GR is the correct replacement. Your hubs part # 8-91-05UC1-EZ are also the correct fit as well. These two options are the best priced solutions that would fit your trailer.

  • How to Pick Out Replacement Trailer Axle for Fayette
    We don't have a way to look up exactly what axle you need based on what you listed but we can still help. When picking out an axle for a trailer you'll need to know the overall length of it from hub face to hub face as well as the distance between the spring seat centers to pick out correct size. I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry. To pick out replacement leaf springs you would need to know the axle capacity and length of your current springs.

  • How to Determine Replacement Boat Trailer Axle
    In order to choose the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; I have added a link below to a video which walks you through how to measure. The other thing you need to know is the weight capacity of the axle you need, which should match or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. For example, the Trailer Idler Axle Beam # e48GR has a 2,000 lb capacity and measures 60 inches from...

  • Compatible Axle/Spindle For An etrailer Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K
    Hey Greg, The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K has a straight spindle so it uses bearing # L44649 for both the inner and outer bearings and grease seal # 10-9. The # e48GR uses # L44649 as well but requires a larger inner diameter grease seal ( # 58846) so it wouldn't be a compatible fit. You would want the etrailer # e43GR instead as it uses the same bearings/seals. When you say outer seal are you referring to the grease cap? If so the # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K should have came...

  • Replacement Axle for a 77" Hub Face
    Hey Ron! We do not have an axle that comes even close to matching your dimensions. The only solution I have to offer you is one of our axle-less systems like the Timbren item # ASR2000S01. This is an independent system that has no axle beam. They come in many capacities and set ups like idler hubs or electric brakes. If you would like a more specific recommendation, I would just need to know your axle capacity, lug pattern, and whether or not your trailer has brakes. You can comment this...

  • Need To Replace Axle, Wheels And Leaf Springs On Small Boat Trailer
    Hello Nick. I do appreciate you reaching out and providing all of that detailed info, but I am sorry to say that we do not carry a replacement for your axle. Our closest leaf spring axle has a 60" hub face like part # e48GR. The spring centers on this axle are pre-welded at 45". The tires and wheels on the other hand are definitely something we can help with. For a 4.80/4.00-8 tire on a 5 on 4-1/2" wheel I recommend the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel - 5...

  • Recommended Replacement for a 2K Lippert Torsion Axle
    I did some digging around and I was able to find out that those are 2K axles, however unfortunately we don't carry torsion axles. With that being said, we do still have other options for you to look it if you're interested like the Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e48GR. This is just a 2K axle beam that measures 60" from hub face to hub face, 48" from spring seat to spring seat, and has built in easy grease straight spindles. I wasn't able to find out the measurements...

  • How to Find Replacement Axle for Hammerblow Trailer
    Hi Ryan; to find a replacement axle you need to know the capacity as well as the hub face to hub face measurement (which is considered the length). It is also helpful to know the spring seat measurement but the spring seats on a replacement can be cut off and moved if need be. I would check to see if there is an axle tag with the capacity if you aren't 100% sure. I also attached a video below which shows how to measure. Assuming you have a 2k axle we have the following lengths available: -Trailer...

  • Will Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 2,000 Lbs Work with Old Hubs
    The Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles part # e48GR uses L44649 inner and outer bearings so as long as your old hubs use these same bearings they will work grease with this axle. If you are replacing the axle with one that has the same weight capacity then yes, you can reuse all your old components such as hubs/drums, idler hubs, or braking assemblies.
