Abstract:Portal axle is gearbox designed to increase the ground clearance of the vehicle for off-road driving
conditions. The higher ground clearance depends on the arrangement of gear train of the portal axle. The gear
train and shafts are the most critical part in the portal axle as they transmit and withstand very high loads. They
should be designed to withstand overloading and lightweight for greater durability and performance of the
portal axle. The modeling and simulation of helical gears in portal axle is important to predict the actual
motion behavior. However, gear train design in portal axle is difficult to study comprehensively due to their
relatively low cost and short product life cycle. In this study, modal analysis of portal axle is simulated using
finite element method (FEM). The axle tube is above the center of wheel hub and where there is a reduction
gearbox in the hub. System is analyzed by Finite element analysis.
