6.4.2 Left-Right Steering Knuckle Assembly
The left and right steering knuckle assembly is supported on wheel hub through two thrust
bearings, and wheel is mounted on wheel hub. Oil seal is fitted on wheel hub, to prevent
overflow of lubricating grease. Plane thrust bearing is fitted between the steering knuckles and
the upper and lower bosses of steering axle body, while shim at the underside is able to adjust
the rolling clearance. The inner holes of upper and lower bosses are fitted with steering king
pins and supported with upper and lower needle roller bearings, while oil seal is used at the
underside to seal it up. The upper-end cover is mounted with oil nozzle to lubricate all the
bearings through inner holes of king pins, and users shall add lubricating grease on time. Lock
pin is available between the king pins of steering knuckle assembly to fix it.
6.4.3 Wheel Hub
Wheel hub is a ball iron part, and the wheel hubs are different as the tyres of 8-10t forklift
trucks are not the same as those of 5-7t forklift trucks.
6.4.4 Steering Cylinder
The steering cylinder crossly mounted between the steering axle body is in a double-action
type. The piston rod on the two ends is connected with connecting rod assembly, while the
other end of the latter is able to drive the steering knuckle arm for wheel to steer. The both ends
of the cylinder are guide sleeves, and steel-backed bearing, baffle plate, seal ring, and dust ring
are mounted inside the inner hole of the sleeve in contact with piston rod, while support ring,
and O-ring are available outside the sleeve in contact with the inner wall of cylinder barrel, in
common use for 5-8t forklift trucks. Refer to Fig 6-9 for the structure.
