What are wheel axles and adapters and what are they needed for?
Axles are load-bearing rods or bolts that connect the wheel to the housing or frame and enable its rotation. Adapters are connecting elements that are needed to connect wheels with certain axles or mounts or to adapt wheel diameters to existing axle systems. They are crucial for the functionality and safety of wheel mounting.
Why is the quality of thru-axles important?
High-quality thru-axles (also called Quick Release axle) ensure secure and stable wheel mounting as well as smooth running. They must be able to carry the full load and absorb dynamic forces without breaking or deforming. Precisely manufactured adapters also ensure the correct fit and function. Inferior quality leads to safety risks and failures.
How do I choose the right axle or the correct axle adapter?
The selection depends on many factors, such as: the wheel type, the required load capacity, the diameter of the hub and the ball bearing or the width of the fork. For adapters, the dimensions of the existing axle or mount and those of the wheel to be mounted are also crucial.
Are custom designs of wheel axles possible?
Yes, as a manufacturer, Rolko offers the possibility, depending on order quantities, of manufacturing thru-axles according to specific customer requirements if our standard solutions are not sufficient.
What axle lengths and diameters are common?
Our axles have a diameter of 12 mm (1/2"). Regarding the length, we offer thru-axles with a length of 85 mm, 98 mm, 103 mm, 108 mm, 113 mm, 123 mm, and 130 mm (3,8", 4", 4,3", 4,5", 4,8" and 5"). The required length of the axle strongly depends on the width of the wheel hub and the fork or housing into which the wheel is mounted. Standard lengths are often available, but custom lengths are also common in industry.
