Functions
1. Dust and Contaminant Protection
• The dust shield prevents debris, moisture, and road contaminants
from entering the axle or brake assembly, safeguarding internal
components from premature wear and corrosion.
2. Enhanced Component Longevity
• By acting as a physical barrier, the shield extends the service
life of critical parts such as bearings, seals, and brake
mechanisms, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
3. Structural Compatibility
• Designed specifically for Fuwa 16T axles, the shield ensures a
precise fit, maintaining alignment and stability under heavy loads
and dynamic conditions.
4. Corrosion Resistance
• The material selection (e.g., reinforced rubber or composite
polymers) resists degradation from environmental factors, ensuring
durability in harsh operating environments.
Materials
1. Reinforced Rubber Composites
• Commonly used for flexibility and sealing performance, these
materials conform to mating surfaces while resisting abrasion and
chemical exposure.
2. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Engineering Plastics
• Lightweight yet durable, these polymers offer impact resistance
and dimensional stability, suitable for long-term outdoor use.
3. Metal-Reinforced Edges (Optional)
• Some designs incorporate steel or aluminum rims to enhance
rigidity and prevent deformation under pressure.
4. Weather-Resistant Coatings
• Surface treatments (e.g., UV-resistant paints or anti-oxidation
layers) protect against fading, cracking, and material breakdown.
Key Features
• Thickened Design: Newer models may feature increased wall
thickness for improved impact resistance.
• Modular Fitment: Compatible with both 13T and 16T Fuwa axle
configurations, streamlining inventory management.
• Easy Installation: Snap-on or bolt-on designs reduce labor time
during replacement.
