Steer Axles for Forklifts

Steer Axle for Forklift - Axles are defined by a central shaft that turns a gear or a wheel. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles could be connected to the wheels and turned with them. In this 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 turn around the axle. In this particular instance, a bushing or bearing is situated in the hole in the wheel so as to allow the wheel or gear to rotate all-around the axle.

With cars and trucks, the word axle in several references is used casually. The word normally means shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself revolves along with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and referred to as an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is equally true that the housing around it which is generally referred to as a casting is also referred to as an 'axle' or occasionally an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition of the term refers to every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Therefore, even transverse pairs of wheels inside an independent suspension are frequently known as 'an axle.'

The axles are an integral component in a wheeled vehicle. The axle serves in order 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 also be able to bear the weight of the vehicle together with any cargo. In a non-driving axle, like the front beam axle in several two-wheel drive light vans and trucks and in heavy-duty trucks, there will be no shaft. The axle in this particular condition works only as a steering part and as suspension. Numerous front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

The axle serves only to transmit driving torque to the wheels in some kinds of suspension systems. The angle and position of the wheel hubs is part of the functioning of the suspension system found in the independent suspensions of new SUVs and on the front of several new light trucks and cars. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have connected axle housing tubes. It could be fixed to the vehicle frame or body or also 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.

Lastly, in reference to a vehicle, 'axle,' has a more vague definition. It means parallel wheels on opposing sides of the vehicle, regardless of their mechanical connection type to one another and the motor vehicle body or frame.
