Steer Axles for Forklift

Steer Axles for Forklift - Axles are defined by a central shaft that turns a wheel or a gear. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles can be connected to the wheels and turned with them. In this particular case, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. Conversely, the axle can be attached to its surroundings and the wheels may in turn rotate around the axle. In this particular situation, a bushing or bearing is placed in the hole inside the wheel to allow the wheel or gear to turn all-around the axle.

With trucks and cars, the term axle in some references is used casually. The word normally refers to 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 called an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is also true that the housing surrounding it which is usually called a casting is otherwise referred to as an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the word refers to 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 often called 'an axle.'

In a wheeled motor vehicle, axles are an integral component. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles function in order to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles even maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the motor vehicle body. In this particular system the axles should also be able to bear the weight of the motor vehicle together with whichever load. In a non-driving axle, like the front beam axle in some two-wheel drive light vans and trucks and in heavy-duty trucks, there would be no shaft. The axle in this situation serves just as a steering part and as suspension. Many front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

The axle works only to transmit driving torque to the wheels in various kinds of suspension systems. The position and angle of the wheel hubs is part of the functioning of the suspension system seen in the independent suspensions of new sports utility vehicles and on the front of various brand new light trucks and cars. These systems still have a differential but it does not have connected axle housing tubes. It could be fixed to the vehicle frame or body 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 motor vehicle, regardless of their kind of mechanical connection to one another.
