Abstract
A proposed SAE Axle Efficiency Test is developed. Laboratory and test equipment problems in testing to the procedure are discussed. Test results with a variety of axles, lubricants, and axle ratios are presented. Results show significant sensitivity to lubricants selection with variations in load, speed, and temperature.
