Dana 80 Hybrid (286 RBI) Axle Description
The 286 Rear Beam-design Iron (RBI) axle
housing consists of a iron center casting (differential housing) with axle tubes
extending from the center section sides. The axle tubes are pressed into the
differential housing to form a one-piece axle housing assembly. The integral
type differential housing hypoid gear housing has a pinion center line below
the centerline of the ring gear.
Full floating axle shafts are retained
by bolts attached to the wheel hub, which rides on two bearings at the outboard
end of the axle tubes. The axle shafts may be removed without disturbing the
wheels, hubs, or wheel bearings. The wheel support bearings are opposed tapered
roller bearings contained in the hub assembly.
A removable stamped steel cover provides
access for inspection and maintenance of the differential assembly. A small
stamped metal axle gear ratio identification tag is attached to the cover by
one of the cover bolts. This tag also lists the number of ring gear and pinion
teeth.
The differential case of the standard
(open) differential is a one-piece design. The differential pinion mate shaft
is retained by a roll pin. Differential bearing preload and ring gear backlash
are adjusted by shims between the differential bearing cones and the differential
case. Pinion bearing preload is set by solid shims on the pinion.
An option Power-Lok limited slip differential
features a two-piece differential case, four pinion gears, and a one piece pinion
mate cross shaft. The cross shaft provides a ramping motion against a clutch
pack on each side gear to transfer wheel torque under poor traction conditions..
Each clutch pack consists of six clutch disks and five plates, and fits between
a side gear and the carrier case. Only one clutch disk in each pack is dished,
the rest are flat.
Dana 80 2500 axles and 3500 axles are identical
except for the outer wheel spindle and hub assembly.
