Steer Axle for Forklifts

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

With trucks and cars, the term axle in some references is used casually. The term generally means shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself revolves with the wheel. It is normally bolted in fixed relation to it and known as an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is equally true that the housing around it which is generally known as a casting is otherwise called an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition 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 generally referred to as 'an axle.'

The axles are an important part in a wheeled motor 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 system the axles should likewise be able to support the weight of the vehicle along with any cargo. In a non-driving axle, as in the front beam axle in various two-wheel drive light vans and trucks and in heavy-duty trucks, there would be no shaft. The axle in this particular situation works just as a steering part and as suspension. Several front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

The axle works just 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 new sports utility vehicles and on the front of several new cars and light trucks. These systems still have a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It can be attached to the motor vehicle frame or body 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 like a full floating axle system as in they do not support the motor vehicle weight.

Last but not least, with regards to a vehicle, 'axle,' has a more ambiguous description. 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.
