Parcels are brought to us daily which contain new parts for the DUT10. Varying from a pallet filled with tires to the new differential. Special attention goes out to the spindles for the DUT10. Spindles are subparts of the innerwheel, which allow the wheel to rotate around a standing still innerwheel.
The last couple of years we have had problems with the spindles. The spindles were heavily loaded on bumpy tracks. Due to the intensity of the loads, the spindles broke down. The spindles for the DUT10 are re-designed which makes sure the spindles can handle the high loads generated on these bumpy tracks. The NLR produced these revised version of our spindle design with which we hope to have eliminated this problem.

Apart from spindles, the NLR is also responsible for the production of other parts concerning the innerwheels. Examples are uprights and outer inserts. The upright and the outer insert are parts of the car which connect the suspension to the wheels, which also contain the spindles. Due to the complex shape of these parts, the NLR produces these parts according to our production drawings.
