Steer Axle for Forklifts

Forklift Steer Axle - The classification of an axle is a central shaft for turning a wheel or a gear. Where wheeled motor vehicles are concerned, the axle itself could be fixed to the wheels and turn along with them. In this particular instance, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle could be connected to its surroundings and the wheels may in turn turn all-around the axle. In this particular situation, a bearing or bushing is situated within the hole inside the wheel to be able to allow the wheel or gear to revolve around the axle.

With trucks and cars, the term axle in several references is utilized casually. The term generally refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself turns with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and known as an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is also true that the housing surrounding it which is generally referred to as a casting is otherwise known as an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the term refers to 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 essential component in a wheeled vehicle. The axle works so as 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 motor vehicle body. In this particular system the axles should even be able to bear the weight of the vehicle plus whichever cargo. In a non-driving axle, like for instance 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. Many front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

The axle serves only to transmit driving torque to the wheels in several types of suspension systems. The position and angle of the wheel hubs is part of the functioning of the suspension system found in the independent suspensions of newer sports utility vehicles and on the front of various new light trucks and cars. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It could be connected to the motor 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 vehicle weight.

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