Abstract
The present disclosure provides a tandem axle for a machine. The tandem axle includes a first wheel end adapted to receive a first wheel and a second wheel end adapted to receive a second wheel. The second wheel end is spaced from the first wheel end. A bogey assembly is coupled between the first wheel end and the second wheel end. The bogey assembly includes a planetary differential disposed along a main axis and is individually coupled to the first and second wheel ends. The planetary differential includes an input for receiving power along the main axis and a first output and a second output such that the first output is coupled to the first wheel end for transferring power to the first wheel end and the second output is coupled to the second wheel end for transferring power to the second wheel end.
