Steer Axle for Forklift

Steer Axles for Forklift - Axles are defined by a central shaft that revolves a wheel or a gear. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles may be connected to the wheels and rotated with them. In this particular situation, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. Conversely, the axle could be fixed to its surroundings and the wheels may in turn rotate around the axle. In this instance, a bushing or bearing is positioned inside the hole in the wheel in order to enable the gear or wheel to rotate all-around the axle.

With trucks and cars, the term axle in some references is utilized casually. The word normally refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself rotates with the wheel. It is normally bolted in fixed relation to it and called an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is equally true that the housing surrounding it which is normally referred to as a casting is also known as an 'axle' or sometimes an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition of the word means every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are connected to one another or they are not. Hence, even transverse pairs of wheels in an independent suspension are generally called 'an axle.'

The axles are an important 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 particular system the axles should also be able to support the weight of the vehicle along with whatever load. 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 situation serves only as a steering part and as suspension. Numerous front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

There are various kinds of suspension systems where the axles operate only to transmit driving torque to the wheels. The angle and position of the wheel hubs is a function of the suspension system. This is often seen in the independent suspension seen in most brand new sports utility vehicles, on the front of various light trucks and on the majority of brand new cars. These systems still have a differential but it does not have attached axle housing tubes. It could be connected to the vehicle body or frame or likewise can 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 motor vehicle weight.

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