Forklift Steer Axles

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

With trucks and cars, the term axle in several references is used casually. The word usually refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself rotates along 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 around it which is normally referred to 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. Therefore, even transverse pairs of wheels inside an independent suspension are frequently called 'an axle.'

The axles are an essential component in a wheeled vehicle. The axle works 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 must also be able to bear the weight of the motor vehicle plus whichever cargo. In a non-driving axle, like the front beam axle in various two-wheel drive light vans and trucks and in heavy-duty trucks, there will 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 just to transmit driving torque to the wheels in various types of suspension systems. The angle and position 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 many brand new cars and light trucks. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have attached axle housing tubes. It could be connected to the 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.

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