Question:
Can you provide the yield strength of the steel used in Spindles TRU57FR and TRU34FR? We need the yield strength to calculated the safety factor in our design.

The only capacities we have for the two spindles you mentioned is the capacity of them if they are used as they are intended on a trailer axle. The part # TRU34FR is for a 3,000 lb axle so it has a 1,500 lb capacity and the # TRU57FR is intended for a 5,000 lb axle so it has a 2,500 lb capacity.
