Steer Axle for Forklifts

Steer Axles for Forklifts - Axles are defined by a central shaft which turns a gear or a wheel. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles may be fixed to the wheels and turned together with them. In this situation, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle can be attached to its surroundings and the wheels can in turn turn around the axle. In this particular instance, a bearing or bushing is positioned inside the hole within the wheel to allow the wheel or gear to revolve around the axle.

If referring to trucks and cars, some references to the word axle co-occur in casual usage. Usually, the word means the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself revolves together with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and known as an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is likewise true that the housing around it which is generally known as a casting is otherwise known as an 'axle' or occasionally an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the word refers to every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are connected to one another or they are not. Thus, even transverse pairs of wheels inside an independent suspension are frequently known as 'an axle.'

In a wheeled motor vehicle, axles are an integral component. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles function to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles likewise maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the vehicle body. In this particular system the axles must likewise be able to bear the weight of the motor vehicle together with whichever load. In a non-driving axle, as in the front beam axle in some two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there will be no shaft. The axle in this condition works only as a steering part and as suspension. A lot of front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

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

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