The fifth wheel pin of a semi-trailer is a crucial component for connecting the tractor and the semi-trailer.
| Connect the tractor and the semi-trailer | It enables the tractor to tow the semi-trailer, ensuring a firm and reliable mechanical connection between the two. |
| Transmit force and torque | Transmit the tractive force, braking force, lateral force, etc., from the tractor to the semi-trailer. At the same time, it can also feed back the relevant forces of the semi-trailer to the tractor, enabling the coordinated movement of the two. |
| Bear vertical loads | Bear part of the weight at the front of the semi-trailer, including the weight of the goods and the vehicle body itself, and transfer it to the frame of the tractor to ensure the stability of the vehicle during driving. |
| Enable steering function | During the steering of the vehicle, it allows the semi-trailer to rotate at a certain angle relative to the tractor, enabling the vehicle to pass through curves, intersections, etc. smoothly. |
| Road transportation | Widely used in long-distance freight transportation, logistics and distribution, etc. It is an essential component for connecting the tractor and the semi-trailer in road cargo transportation. |
| Ports, freight yards, and other places | Used for the quick connection and disconnection of the tractor and the semi-trailer during the loading and unloading of goods, improving the turnover efficiency of cargo transportation. |
Types of the Fifth Wheel Pin of a Semi-trailer
- Classified by shape: There are mushroom-head types and leaf spring types, etc. The mushroom-head fifth wheel pin is more widely used. Its head is mushroom-shaped and fits closely with the fifth wheel of the tractor, being able to bear large vertical loads and horizontal forces. The leaf spring type fifth wheel pin has a relatively simple structure and realizes a certain elastic connection through the leaf spring, which is often used in some situations where the requirements for traction performance are not particularly high.
- Classified by size: Common specifications include 2 inches (about 50.8mm) and 3.5 inches (about 88.9mm), etc. The small-sized fifth wheel pin is suitable for light semi-trailers, while the large-sized one is used for heavy semi-trailers to meet different load-bearing requirements.
Parameters of the Fifth Wheel Pin of a Semi-trailer
- Diameter: It determines the matching accuracy between the fifth wheel pin and the fifth wheel as well as the load-bearing capacity. Generally, the larger the diameter, the higher the load-bearing capacity.
- Height: It affects the connection height between the semi-trailer and the tractor as well as the overall center of gravity of the vehicle. An appropriate height can ensure the stability and trafficability of the vehicle during driving.
- Head shape and size: Parameters such as the diameter and radian of the mushroom head should match the fifth wheel to ensure good contact and force distribution, reducing wear and stress concentration.
- Material and strength grade: It is generally made of high-strength alloy steel. The strength grades include grade 8.8, grade 10.9, grade 12.9, etc. The larger the number, the higher the strength, and it can bear greater tensile and shear forces.
