The steering of forklift is controlled by the steering wheel through the steering reduce
gear unit, led by a steering sensor sending a signal to steering motor. The steering
column for steering shaft tilts back and forth a certain angle. So that the driver can
adjust it to appropriate location, to meet different needs.
2.2.3 Braking system
The braking system for forklift is combined by brake system and parking brake.
Brake means braking the truck during operation, by using the foot brake.
When the brake cylinder sends the same force to the main brake shoe and vice brake
shoe to suppress brake drums until the top of vice brake shoe against the fixing pins,
the brake shoes move to the rotation direction of brake drum. After against fixing
pins, friction between brake drum and friction plate is increased. Since the main brake
shoe gives the vice brake shoe brake shoe a much larger pressure than the one for
brake cylinder, resulting in a lot of braking force.
Double shoes brake is mounted on both sides of the drive axle. Brake consists of two
groups of brake shoes, brake cylinder and regulator. One end of the brake shoe is in
contact with the fixed pin, and the other end is in contact with the adjusting means.
The return spring and compression spring rod suppress the parking brake lever unit. In
addition, the brake is also assembled the parking brake mechanism and automatic
adjustment device.
