Forklift Pinion

Pinion for Forklifts - The main pivot, known as the king pin, is found in the steering device of a forklift. The initial design was a steel pin which the movable steerable wheel was connected to the suspension. Able to freely revolve on a single axis, it limited the degrees of freedom of movement of the rest of the front suspension. During the 1950s, when its bearings were substituted by ball joints, more detailed suspension designs became obtainable to designers. King pin suspensions are nevertheless featured on various heavy trucks because they have the advantage of being capable of carrying a lot heavier load.

Newer designs no longer limit this machine to moving like a pin and now, the term might not be utilized for a real pin but for the axis around which the steered wheels turn.

The KPI or likewise known as kingpin inclination can also be known as the SAI or steering axis inclination. These terms describe the kingpin when it is set at an angle relative to the true vertical line as viewed from the front or back of the forklift. This has a vital effect on the steering, making it likely to go back to the centre or straight ahead position. The centre arrangement is where the wheel is at its highest position relative to the suspended body of the forklift. The motor vehicles weight has the tendency to turn the king pin to this position.

The kingpin inclination also sets the scrub radius of the steered wheel, which is the offset amid projected axis of the tire's connection point with the road surface and the steering down through the king pin. If these points coincide, the scrub radius is defined as zero. Even if a zero scrub radius is possible without an inclined king pin, it needs a deeply dished wheel so as to maintain that the king pin is at the centerline of the wheel. It is a lot more practical to tilt the king pin and make use of a less dished wheel. This also offers the self-centering effect.
