Steer Axle for Forklifts

Steer Axle for Forklift - Axles are defined by a central shaft that rotates a wheel or a gear. The axle on wheeled vehicles can be fixed to the wheels and rotated with them. In this particular instance, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle may be fixed to its surroundings and the wheels can in turn revolve around the axle. In this particular situation, a bushing or bearing is placed in the hole inside the wheel to be able to allow the wheel or gear to revolve around the axle.

If referring to cars and trucks, several references to the word axle co-occur in casual usage. Normally, the term refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself turns together with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and called an 'axle shaft' or an 'axle.' It is also true that the housing surrounding it that is generally called a casting is also called an 'axle' or sometimes an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition of the term means every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Thus, even transverse pairs of wheels inside an independent suspension are generally referred to as 'an axle.'

The axles are an essential part in a wheeled motor vehicle. The axle works so as to transmit driving torque to the wheel in a live-axle suspension system. The position of the wheels is maintained by the axles relative to one another and to the vehicle body. In this system the axles must likewise be able to bear the weight of the vehicle along with whichever cargo. In a non-driving axle, like for instance the front beam axle in some two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there would be no shaft. The axle in this particular situation serves only as a steering part and as suspension. Numerous front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

There are different kinds of suspension systems wherein the axles work just to transmit driving torque to the wheels. The position and angle of the wheel hubs is a function of the suspension system. This is normally seen in the independent suspension found in the majority of new SUV's, on the front of numerous light trucks and on nearly all brand new cars. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It could be connected to the vehicle frame or body or even could be integral in a transaxle. The axle shafts then transmit driving torque to the wheels. The shafts in an independent suspension system are like a full floating axle system as in they do not support the vehicle weight.

The vehicle axle has a more ambiguous classification, meaning that the parallel wheels on opposing sides of the motor vehicle, regardless of their kind of mechanical connection to one another.
