A system, comprising:
- a lubricant reservoir in an axle arm comprising a fill line at an edge of a driveshaft, wherein a central axis of the lubricant reservoir is misaligned with a central axis of the driveshaft, and wherein the lubricant reservoir is arranged in the axle arm between a first flange of a first end and a second flange of a second end opposite the first end.
An axle arm, comprising:
- a driveshaft arranged and configured to rotate in a lubricant reservoir positioned within the axle arm, wherein a fill line of the lubricant reservoir contacts a bottom portion of the driveshaft, and wherein the lubricant reservoir changes in shape from a first end of the axle arm to a second end of the axle arm, the second end opposite the first end.
A system, comprising:
- an axle arm comprising an upper wall, a lower wall, a first lateral wall, and a second lateral wall;
- a lubricant reservoir shaped by the upper wall, the lower wall, the first lateral wall, and the second lateral wall;
- and
- a driveshaft configured to rotate within the lubricant reservoir, wherein a central axis of the driveshaft is aligned with a central axis of the axle arm and misaligned with a central axis of the lubricant reservoir.
