Steer Axle for Forklift

Forklift Steer Axle - Axles are defined by a central shaft that revolves a wheel or a gear. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles may be attached to the wheels and rotated together with them. In this particular case, bushings or bearings 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 case, a bearing or bushing is situated inside the hole within the wheel to allow the gear or wheel to revolve around the axle.

With trucks and cars, the word axle in several references is used casually. The word generally means 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 shaft' or an 'axle.' It is likewise true that the housing surrounding it which is usually referred to as a casting is otherwise known as an 'axle' or sometimes an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition of the term means every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Hence, even transverse pairs of wheels in an independent suspension are frequently known as 'an axle.'

The axles are an important component in a wheeled motor vehicle. The axle serves 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 should likewise 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 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 component and as suspension. Numerous front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

There are various types of suspension systems where the axles serve 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 normally seen in the independent suspension seen in the majority of brand new sports utility vehicles, on the front of many light trucks and on most 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 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 similar to a full floating axle system as in they do not support the motor vehicle weight.

Lastly, with regards to a vehicle, 'axle,' has a more ambiguous definition. It means parallel wheels on opposing sides of the vehicle, regardless of their mechanical connection kind to one another and the motor vehicle body or frame.
