Forklift Steer Axle

Forklift Steer Axle - The description of an axle is a central shaft intended for rotating a wheel or a gear. Where wheeled vehicles are concerned, the axle itself could be attached to the wheels and rotate with them. In this case, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. On the other hand, the axle could be attached to its surroundings and the wheels may in turn revolve all-around the axle. In this case, a bushing or bearing is placed inside the hole within the wheel to enable the wheel or gear to turn around the axle.

If referring to cars and trucks, some references to the word axle co-occur in casual usage. Normally, the term refers to the shaft itself, a transverse pair of wheels or its housing. The shaft itself turns with the wheel. It is frequently bolted in fixed relation to it and called an 'axle shaft' or an 'axle.' It is likewise true that the housing around it which is usually known as a casting is otherwise known as an 'axle' or at times an 'axle housing.' An even broader sense of the term means every transverse pair of wheels, whether they are attached to one another or they are not. Hence, even transverse pairs of wheels in an independent suspension are generally known as 'an axle.'

In a wheeled vehicle, axles are an important component. With a live-axle suspension system, the axles work so as 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 also be able to bear the weight of the motor vehicle along with any load. In a non-driving axle, like for example 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 particular condition serves just as a steering component and as suspension. Many front wheel drive cars have a solid rear beam axle.

There are various types of suspension systems wherein the axles work just to transmit driving torque to the wheels. The position and angle of the wheel hubs is a function of the suspension system. This is often found in the independent suspension found in nearly all new sports utility vehicles, on the front of various light trucks and on most new cars. These systems still have a differential but it does not have fixed axle housing tubes. It can be attached to the motor vehicle body or frame 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 motor vehicle axle has a more vague description, meaning that the parallel wheels on opposing sides of the vehicle, regardless of their kind of mechanical connection to one another.
