ZF 2093.317.015 AXLE FLARED TUBE | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2093.317.015 AXLE FLARED TUBE is a critical hydraulic and structural component engineered for heavy-duty construction machinery drivelines. This OEM genuine part serves as the pressurized conduit that delivers lubrication and cooling oil directly to the axle assembly, while also providing a sealed connection point between the differential housing and the axle shaft. Precision-formed with a flared end, this tube ensures a leak-proof interface under extreme operating pressures and thermal cycling. The SKU 2093.317.015 is specifically designed to maintain consistent fluid flow, preventing contamination ingress and protecting adjacent components such as the 2093109001: DIFFERENTIAL from lubrication starvation.

Symptoms of Failure

• Hydraulic oil seepage at axle connection: A worn or cracked flared tube often manifests as visible oil weeping around the union nut, leading to gradual fluid loss and potential contamination of brake assemblies.
• Transmission whine under load: When the tube fails to deliver adequate lubrication, the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING experiences accelerated wear, producing a distinct high-pitched noise during acceleration or turning.
• Intermittent gear engagement hesitation: Reduced oil flow caused by a deformed tube can starve the 2093209095: DIFFERENTIAL of hydraulic pressure, resulting in delayed or rough shifting in powershift transmissions.
• Visible corrosion or pitting on tube surface: Exposure to road salt and moisture causes the flared sealing surface to degrade, compromising the integrity of the 2093309071: DIFF.HOUSING connection.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This flared tube is engineered for ZF powershift and hydrostatic drivelines commonly found in wheel loaders, telehandlers, and graders. Based on its design and port configuration, it is compatible with the following ZF transmission and axle families: WG180, WG200, WG210, AP400, AP500, and MT3000 series. It directly interfaces with the lubrication circuit in both rigid and steering axles. For precise fitment verification, always cross-reference your existing part against the 2093.317.015 geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I reuse the old O-ring when installing the 2093.317.015 tube?
A: No. The flared tube relies on a metal-to-metal seal at the flare cone. Always replace the copper or aluminum sealing washer (if applicable) and inspect the mating surface on the differential housing for nicks or debris.

Q: How do I identify if my tube is the 2093.317.015 or a different variant?
A: Measure the overall tube length and flare angle. The 2093.317.015 features a 37° flare and a 385 mm length. Compare this to your existing part; the part number is also stamped on the hex nut.

Q: Will a damaged flared tube cause differential failure?
A: Yes. A compromised tube reduces oil flow to the 2093109001: DIFFERENTIAL, leading to overheating and premature gear wear. Replace immediately if any leakage is detected.
