Steer Axle for Forklifts

Forklift Steer Axle - Axles are defined by a central shaft which rotates a wheel or a gear. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles may be fixed to the wheels and revolved together with them. In this instance, bushings or bearings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. Conversely, the axle can be attached to its surroundings and the wheels could in turn revolve all-around the axle. In this particular situation, a bearing or bushing is situated within the hole in the wheel so as to enable the gear or wheel to rotate all-around the axle.

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

In a wheeled vehicle, axles are an important part. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles function to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles also maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the vehicle body. In this system the axles must even be able to bear the weight of the motor vehicle along with whichever cargo. In a non-driving axle, as in the front beam axle in several 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. Lots of front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

The axle serves only to transmit driving torque to the wheels in some types of suspension systems. The position and angle of the wheel hubs is part of the operating of the suspension system seen in the independent suspensions of newer SUVs and on the front of many brand new cars and light trucks. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It can be attached to the vehicle body or frame or even can 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 motor vehicle weight.

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