An axle assembly having a first clutch collar and a second clutch collar. The first clutch collar may be selectively engageable with a drive gear that may be rotatably disposed on an input shaft. The second clutch collar may be selectively engageable with a side gear of an interaxle differential unit.

Axle assembly having multiple clutch collars

A drive axle assembly that may include an input shaft, an intermediate shaft, an output shaft, and an actuator unit. The actuator unit may move the intermediate shaft between a first position in which the intermediate shaft transmits torque to the output shaft and a second position in which the intermediate shaft does not transmit torque to the output shaft.

Drive axle assembly and disengagement system

A drive axle assembly that may include an input shaft, an output shaft, a lock collar, and a pinion. The actuator unit may move the lock collar between a first position in which the torque is transmitted from the input shaft to the pinion and a second position in which torque is not transmitted to the pinion.

An air actuated shift mechanism is housed within a drive axle housing and can be used to actuate a two-speed shifter, or it can be used to actuate a differential locking mechanism. The air actuated shift mechanism includes a lock member and an engageable member that is selectively engaged by the lock member. When the lock member and engageable member are in an engaged position, a first axle function is provided such as a low speed or a locked differential condition. When the lock member and the engageable member are in a disengaged position, a second axle function is provided such as a high speed or an unlocked differential condition. A shift member moves one of the lock member and the engageable member to provide the engaged position, and an air actuated piston controls movement of the shift member.
