Features and Benefits

TRAAX ROD® performance — Up to *five times times the performance life of conventional double shot bushings and similar performance of ball and socket torque rods, with better energy absorption, delivering best in class bushing retention and longer component life for heavy- and severe-duty applications.

TRAAX ROD BODY

Fabricated rod body

• Works in conjunction with our proprietary bushing to provide a large footprint for heavy load and energy absorption during high articulation and side load events.

Offers easy and inexpensive flexibility

• Hendrickson's proprietary manufacturing process can easily generate a variety of torque rod lengths. Length variety significantly reduces the need for shims which can compromise the connection integrity if not secured properly or used with correct shims.

One-piece design

• Supports uptime by removing and replacing with original one-piece length for an accurate fit the first time.

TRAAX ROD BUSHINGS

Curled outer metal casing

• Places rubber in pre-compression mode to “harness” the energy to perform at its highest peak, providing best-in-class durability and performance.

Proprietary rubber material

• Reduces cost of ownership by absorbing horizontal, vertical and torsional forces for long component life.

High strength bond

• Bonding the rubber to inner metal eliminates friction between the inner metal and rubber, minimizing bushing wear and increasing component life cycle.

Hardened steel bar pins and taper pins

• Delivers increased resistance against wear and abrasion to extend the service intervals of the component.

* Based on internal testing of bushing walkout, retention and durability. Actual product performance may vary depending on component and vehicle configuration, operation, service and other factors.
