Steer Axles for Forklift

Forklift Steer Axles - Axles are defined by a central shaft that turns a wheel or a gear. The axle on wheeled motor vehicles can be fixed to the wheels and revolved with them. In this case, 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 can in turn turn all-around the axle. In this situation, a bushing or bearing is located in the hole within the wheel in order to enable the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle.

If referring to trucks and cars, some references to the word axle co-occur in casual usage. Usually, the term refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself turns with the wheel. It is usually bolted in fixed relation to it and referred to as an 'axle shaft' or an 'axle.' It is likewise true that the housing around it that is usually known as a casting is also known as an 'axle' or occasionally an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition of the word refers to every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are connected to one another or they are not. Hence, even transverse pairs of wheels in an independent suspension are frequently known as 'an axle.'

In a wheeled motor vehicle, axles are an essential part. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles work in order to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles likewise maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the vehicle body. In this system the axles should likewise be able to support the weight of the vehicle together with whatever cargo. In a non-driving axle, like the front beam axle in various two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there would be no shaft. The axle in this particular situation works only as a steering part and as suspension. Many front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

There are different kinds of suspension systems where the axles serve just to transmit driving torque to the wheels. The angle and position of the wheel hubs is a function of the suspension system. This is normally seen in the independent suspension seen in the majority of new sports utility vehicles, on the front of several light trucks and on most brand new cars. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have attached axle housing tubes. It can be fixed to the motor vehicle frame or body or even could 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.

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