BAL RV Products, a division of Norco Industries, announced the introduction of its new Independent Suspension Bridge Axle Mounting System featuring Dexter TORFLEX Stub Axles for towable RV’s.
“Our innovative bridge stub axle mounting system maximizes ground clearance while maintaining the optimal ride height for the RV,” said Joe Hosinski, vice president of sales and service. “It integrates seamlessly with Dexter TORFLEX stub axles to offer a smooth and quiet ride on paved and non-paved roads. The BAL Independent Suspension Bridge Axle Mounting System allows each wheel to travel independently while allowing for additional ground clearance. The system features custom-designed coil over shock absorbers that dampen wheel oscillation to keep the trailer level, as well as protect it from travel-related damage.”
Torsion stub axles feature four rubber cords with a heat-treated solid steel inner bar that cushions the ride and absorbs road shock, reducing transmission into the chassis and RV. The company said additional strength and durability is provided by forged heavy-duty hubs, integrated with precision machined steel spindles and cast-iron hub-drums. TORFLEX axles are equipped with electric brakes and E-Z Lube axle bearings.
Hosinski added: “BAL’s suspension system is the industry’s first truly independent suspension bridge axle mounting system featuring torsion axles. The heavy-duty steel stub axle mount is protected and coated with an automotive grade PPG Powder over E – Coat finish and is available in multiple colors. The system is engineered for each OEM and is designed to maximize ground clearance, optimize ride height, and set wheel camber for best tire alignment and wear.”
