That axel called a full floater uses twin bearings like the front axel. The weight of the truck rides on them. A standard or semi floating axel the weight of the truck rides on the axel shaft and single bearing...

the hub can be left on the housing while the axle can be unbolted from the hub and removed from the housing to replace a broken axle for example.
they are also an oil bath design on the bearings the housing is filled high enough with axle grease that the bearings run in lube.
