Steer Axle for Forklift

Forklift Steer Axle - The description of an axle is a central shaft utilized for turning a wheel or a gear. Where wheeled vehicles are concerned, the axle itself could be connected to the wheels and rotate with them. In this particular instance, bushings or bearings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle could be fixed to its surroundings and the wheels can in turn rotate around the axle. In this case, a bushing or bearing is situated in the hole within the wheel to allow the gear or wheel to revolve around the axle.

With trucks and cars, the term axle in some references is used casually. The term normally refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself rotates with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and called an 'axle shaft' or an 'axle.' It is also true that the housing surrounding it that is generally called a casting is otherwise known as an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the term refers to every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Therefore, even transverse pairs of wheels inside an independent suspension are generally referred to as 'an axle.'

In a wheeled motor vehicle, axles are an integral part. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles function to be able to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles likewise maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the motor vehicle body. In this system the axles must likewise be able to bear the weight of the vehicle together with whichever load. In a non-driving axle, like for example the front beam axle in several two-wheel drive light vans and trucks and in heavy-duty trucks, there will be no shaft. The axle in this condition works only as a steering component and as suspension. Many front wheel drive cars consist of a solid rear beam axle.

The axle works 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 functioning of the suspension system seen in the independent suspensions of new SUVs and on the front of various brand new cars and light trucks. These systems still have a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It could be fixed to the motor vehicle frame or body or also could be integral in a transaxle. The axle shafts then transmit driving torque to the wheels. The shafts in an independent suspension system are similar to a full floating axle system as in they do not support the motor vehicle weight.

The vehicle axle has a more ambiguous definition, meaning that the parallel wheels on opposing sides of the vehicle, regardless of their type of mechanical connection to one another.
