Forklift Pinions

Pinion for Forklifts - The king pin, normally constructed from metal, is the major axis in the steering device of a motor vehicle. The original design was in fact a steel pin wherein the movable steerable wheel was connected to the suspension. In view of the fact that it can freely revolve on a single axis, it limited the degrees of freedom of movement of the remainder of the front suspension. During the nineteen fifties, when its bearings were replaced by ball joints, more comprehensive suspension designs became obtainable to designers. King pin suspensions are nevertheless used on some heavy trucks for the reason that they have the advantage of being capable of lifting much heavier load.

The newer designs of the king pin no longer restrict to moving similar to a pin. Nowadays, the term might not even refer to a real pin but the axis where the steered wheels revolve.

The KPI or kingpin inclination could also be referred to as the steering axis inclination or SAI. These terms describe the kingpin if it is set at an angle relative to the true vertical line as viewed from the front or back of the forklift. This has a vital impact on the steering, making it tend to return to the straight ahead or center position. The centre position is where the wheel is at its highest position relative to the suspended body of the lift truck. The motor vehicles weight has the tendency to turn the king pin to this position.

The kingpin inclination also sets the scrub radius of the steered wheel, which is the offset amid projected axis of the tire's communication point with the road surface and the steering down through the king pin. If these points coincide, the scrub radius is defined as zero. Though a zero scrub radius is likely without an inclined king pin, it needs a deeply dished wheel so as to maintain that the king pin is at the centerline of the wheel. It is more sensible to slant the king pin and make use of a less dished wheel. This also supplies the self-centering effect.
