Abstract
The invention is directed to a portal axle for low-slung vehicles, comprising a portal housing' into the interiorof which is guided proceeding from an axle bracket side a drive shafton which a drive wheelis arranged so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it, with intermediate wheelswhich are rotatably mounted on bearing pinsin the portal housing′ and which can be rotatably driven by the drive wheeland by means of which an output wheelwhich is arranged in the portal housing′ on an output shaft so as to be fixed with respect to rotation relative to it can be rotatably driven, this output wheelprojecting into a hub carrierwhich can be fixedly connected to the portal housing′. The drive shaftand the output shaft extend so as to be axially offset, and a brake caliper of a disk brake is arranged radially adjacent to the portal housing′. The portal housing′ has on its axle bracket side a mounting orificewhich can be closed by a closure part and through which the drive wheeland the intermediate wheelscan be inserted into the portal housing′, wherein the intermediate wheelshave a larger diameter than the output wheel
