Forklift Pinions

Forklift Pinion - The main axis, known as the king pin, is found in the steering mechanism of a lift truck. The initial design was a steel pin wherein the movable steerable wheel was mounted to the suspension. As it can freely revolve on a single axis, it limited the degrees of freedom of movement of the rest of the front suspension. In the 1950s, the time its bearings were substituted by ball joints, more detailed suspension designs became available to designers. King pin suspensions are nevertheless used on various heavy trucks in view of the fact that they could lift a lot heavier cargo.

The new designs of the king pin no longer restrict to moving similar to a pin. Now, the term might not even refer to an actual pin but the axis in which the steered wheels pivot.

The KPI or likewise known as kingpin inclination may likewise be called the SAI or steering axis inclination. These terms describe the kingpin when it is places at an angle relative to the true vertical line as looked at from the front or back of the forklift. This has a major effect on the steering, making it tend to return to the centre or straight ahead position. The centre location is where the wheel is at its highest position relative to the suspended body of the forklift. The vehicles' weight tends to turn the king pin to this position.

Another impact of the kingpin inclination is to fix the scrub radius of the steered wheel. The scrub radius is the offset between the tire's contact point with the road surface and the projected axis of the steering down through the king pin. If these items coincide, the scrub radius is defined as zero. Even 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 a lot more sensible to tilt the king pin and use a less dished wheel. This likewise provides the self-centering effect.
