Strange STA2040 40 Spline Floater Axles

Strange Pro Race axles are forged from Hy-Tuf alloy steel that was originally developed for highly stressed landing gear in military aircraft. Hy-Tuf was originated in the class of Ultra-Strength alloys. The Hy-Tuf forging is a low carbon, high manganese, high-nickel and high molybdenum steel. Strange Pro racing axles are thru-hardened, which allows for a drag racing shaft with an exceptionally high tensile strength (240,000 PSI) while retaining ductility. Strange Engineering stocks a variety of completely finished axles for specific applications. After 40 years of manufacturing axles, we know which applications are most common; there is no reason to charge you extra for priority service. If your requirements cannot be met by our extensive inventory, we will custom manufacture your axle from our Hy-Tuf forging at no additional cost. Strange Pro Race axles are the best value on the market- that's why more drag racing competitors rely on Strange axles than all other brands combined!

About Gun-Drilled Axles

Strange gun-drilled axles were created to reduce rotating weight. Gun-drilling is a process where the core of the axle is removed, leaving a .875" hole through the entire length of the shaft. Each gun-drilled axle is further lightened by eliminating axle flange material with five 1" diameter holes. A 35-spline gun-drilled axle is 25.6% lighter than a solid 35-spline axle and can be used for non-blown cars weighing under 1,850 lbs.

Strange 40-spline gun-drilled axles can withstand the abuse of drag racing vehicles weighing 3,500 lbs. and with quarter mile elapsed time slips under seven seconds. Strange 40-spline gun-drilled axles are 10% lighter than 35-spline solid axles and an astonishing 54% stronger. The Strange 40-spline gun-drilled axle is truly the ultimate drag racing axle. A solid axle shaft is stronger than an equivalent diameter gun-drilled shaft; therefore, when weight is not an issue a gun-drilled axle should not be considered.
