Forklift Steer Axles

Forklift Steer Axle - The description of an axle is a central shaft used for rotating a gear or a wheel. Where wheeled vehicles are concerned, the axle itself can be connected to the wheels and revolve together with them. In this particular situation, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle can be fixed to its surroundings and the wheels could in turn revolve around the axle. In this instance, a bushing or bearing is located inside the hole inside the wheel so as to enable the wheel or gear to turn around the axle.

With trucks and cars, the word axle in several references is used casually. The word normally refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself rotates along with the wheel. It is normally bolted in fixed relation to it and referred to as an 'axle' or an 'axle shaft'. It is also true that the housing around it that is normally known as a casting is also known as an 'axle' or occasionally an 'axle housing.' An even broader definition of the term refers to every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are connected to one another or they are not. Therefore, even transverse pairs of wheels within an independent suspension are often known as 'an axle.'

In a wheeled motor vehicle, axles are an integral part. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles serve to be able to transmit driving torque to the wheel. The axles even maintain the position of the wheels relative to one another and to the vehicle body. In this system the axles must likewise be able to support the weight of the vehicle plus whichever cargo. In a non-driving axle, as in the front beam axle in several two-wheel drive light trucks and vans and in heavy-duty trucks, there will be no shaft. The axle in this condition works just as a steering part and as suspension. A lot of front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

There are various kinds of suspension systems wherein the axles function 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 often found in the independent suspension seen in nearly all brand new SUV's, on the front of various light trucks and on nearly all brand new cars. These systems still consist of a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It can be attached to the vehicle body or frame 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 similar to a full floating axle system as in they do not support the motor vehicle weight.

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