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.


Dexters

Dexters 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.

  • Can E-Z Lube Hubs be Installed on Trailer Axle Without E-Z Lube Fittings
    E-Z Lube hubs like # 84550UC1-EZ that you referenced are intended for use on axles that are equipped with E-Z Lube spindles. They feature removable plugs that pop out to provide access to the grease zerk fitting in the end of the spindle. Adding an E-Z Lube hub to a regular axle will not provide the E-Z Lube functionality but if the bearing set is the same as your original hubs then they may be used as substitutes but without the E-Z Lube feature. The idler hubs you referenced use bearings...

  • Replacement Trailer Axle for a Carry On 5x8 Foot Utility Trailer
    We may not have a straight axle solution but we do have axle-less options. I have included a link to them for you. The great thing about these systems is that they have the suspension built in, sort of like a torsion axle. And ground clearance is improved because there is no axle hanging down. We carry the most common sizes of straight axles in the lower capacities but axles can literally be any size so its tough to carry them all. If none of the straight axles we have will fit and you...

  • Replacement Axle for Harbor Freight Trailer 4x8 Foot 1195 lb Capacity
    The Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs # T20BTR-EZ-6048 will fit any trailer with spring seats 48 inches on center. If you Harbor Freight trailer has leaf springs that are 48 inches on center then you will have a perfect fit. You will want to note that the hub face to hub face will be 60 inches. If those dimensions are not a fit, then you may want to consider using the CE Smith Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - EZ Lube Spindles - 5 on 4-1/2 - 57-1/2"...

  • 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...

  • Is There A 60" Hub Face Axle That Will Allow Me To Use A 6 on 5-1/2" Wheel Hub?
    I have a couple options that may help you to get the correct hub size as there is not one that is a direct fit for the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-6048. First the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange # TRU74FR can be welded on in place of the smaller spindles that come on the Dexter axle. This will give you a spindle that is traditionally found on a larger 3,500lb axle and allow you to use the 6 on 5-1/2" Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K....

  • Converting a Mobile Home Axle to 5 on 4.5 Pattern
    I have a possible solution for you but, mobile home axles are typically very difficult to change over because the manufacturer uses odd sized parts to assemble them. Once they go bad its more trouble than its worth to replace specific items, especially the spindles. It is difficult to find replacement parts for a mobile home axle because they were designed for one time use only. Unfortunately, there isn't a kit for something like this. I recommend getting a new standard trailer axle...

  • Overall Length of the Dexter Axle # T20BTR-EZ-6048
    I went out into our warehouse and measured the outside to outside length of a # T20BTR-EZ-6048 we had in stock and found that distance to be 65-3/4 inches. I measured from the end of the zerk fittings that are on the outsides of the axles.

  • Can EZ Lube Hub be Replaced by Non-EZ Lube Hub
    The only difference between EZ lube hubs and non-EZ lube hubs is the dust cover/cap on the hub. The EZ lube hubs have a rubber plug you can pull out whereas the non-EZ lube hubs have a cab without a cover. You don't even have to remove the zerk fitting if you don't want to. Best option is to grease by hand and not use a Bearing Buddy in my opinion as they typically allow people to overfill the hubs which eventually blows out the grease seal. I attached a video that covers packing hubs...

  • Recommended Trailer Axle for a 66" Long Axle
    Robert, it looks like the closest axle we have to that measurement is the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-6048 which is 60" long and has a 2,200 lb capacity. I'd suggest remeasuring your axle following the instructions in the FAQ I've attached and verifying if your axle is actually 66" long.

  • Can Electric Brakes Be Added to Dexter 2,200lb Capacity Idler Axle
    Brake mounting flanges like part # 4-34 could be welded to the axle you referenced. The spindles are compatible with the L44649 wheel bearings. If you needed a hub with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, use the # 8-173-16UC3-EZ hub drum and the # 23-47 and # 23-48 brake assemblies. You'd also need 4 nuts # 6-17 and # 5-8 lock washers per brake assembly. If you needed a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, go with the # 8-257-5UC3-EZ hub drum along with the brake assemblies and hardware mentioned above.

    The 2,200 lb capacity Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-6048 is not compatible with the hub and brakes you referenced, so it will require a couple of different parts, though you can use Brake Mounting Flange # 4-34. The axle has BTR spindles so you would need Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 8-173-16UC3-EZ which are compatible with 7" x 1-1/4" brake assemblies. For that you will need the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit...

  • Choosing the Correct Axle for my 7 x 16 Cargo Trailer.

    The CE Smith # CE13110 is designed for 2,500 lb axles with # L44643 bearings. All of our available 60" axles use # L44649 bearings. The only solution would be to switch to hubs with the same bolt patter that use # L44649 bearings. The Dexter Trailer Idler Axle w/ Idler Hubs # 20440I-EZ-60 that you looked at would work as a replacement assuming you only need a 2,000 lb capacity. For a 2,200 lb axle we have the # T20BTR-EZ-6048.
