ZF 4461.371.062 AXLE BEVEL GEAR for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4461.371.062 Axle Bevel Gear is a precision-engineered component designed for the differential assembly within the WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission series. This OEM genuine part transfers rotational power from the driveshaft to the axle shafts at a right angle, enabling smooth torque distribution to the wheels. As a critical element of the final drive, the SKU 4461.371.062 works in concert with the 4143101009 HOUSING and the 4143301025 HOUSING to maintain proper gear mesh and load-bearing capacity. Its hardened steel construction ensures durability under high-stress operating conditions, making it essential for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4461.371.062 axle bevel gear deteriorates, operators may notice distinct performance issues. Whining or howling noise from the axle during acceleration often indicates worn gear teeth or improper backlash. Vibration in the driveline at low speeds suggests uneven tooth wear or pitting on the gear surface. Intermittent loss of power transfer to the wheels can occur when chipped teeth fail to engage correctly. Metallic debris in the transmission oil is a clear sign of advanced gear degradation, requiring immediate replacement to prevent damage to the 0634313603 O-RING and adjacent seals.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This axle bevel gear is specifically engineered for the ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmission families. It is also compatible with the WG180 and WG200 series when used in single-reduction axle configurations. The gear interfaces directly with the 4475280018 SCREW PLUG for lubrication retention and requires proper shimming against the 0501342341 SUPPORT RING to achieve correct pinion depth. Always verify axle housing casting numbers before installation to ensure match with the 4461.371.062 gear set.
