Forklift Steer Axles

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

With trucks and cars, the term axle in some references is used casually. The word generally means 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 shaft' or an 'axle.' It is equally true that the housing around it which is normally called a casting is likewise called an 'axle' or occasionally an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the word means every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are connected to one another or they are not. Thus, even transverse pairs of wheels within an independent suspension are often known as 'an axle.'

In a wheeled vehicle, axles are an integral component. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles work in order to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles also maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the motor vehicle body. In this system the axles must even be able to support the weight of the motor vehicle along with whichever load. In a non-driving axle, as in the front beam axle in various two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there will be no shaft. The axle in this situation works just as a steering part and as suspension. Many front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

The axle serves just to transmit driving torque to the wheels in various kinds 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 several brand new light trucks and cars. These systems still have a differential but it does not have connected axle housing tubes. It can be connected to the motor vehicle frame or body or likewise 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.

Last but not least, with regards to a motor 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 body or frame.
