Forklift Pinions

Pinion for Forklifts - The king pin, usually constructed of metal, is the major pivot in the steering device of a vehicle. The initial design was in fact a steel pin wherein the movable steerable wheel was attached to the suspension. Able to freely turn on a single axis, it restricted the degrees of freedom of motion of the rest of the front suspension. During the 1950s, the time its bearings were replaced by ball joints, more comprehensive suspension designs became obtainable to designers. King pin suspensions are nevertheless used on various heavy trucks since they have the advantage of being capable of lifting much heavier weights.

New designs no longer limit this particular apparatus to moving like a pin and today, the term may not be utilized for a real pin but for the axis in the vicinity of which the steered wheels pivot.

The kingpin inclination or likewise called KPI is also known as the steering axis inclination or otherwise known as SAI. This is the definition of having the kingpin placed at an angle relative to the true vertical line on nearly all recent designs, as looked at from the back or front of the forklift. This has a vital effect on the steering, making it likely to go back to the centre or straight ahead position. The centre arrangement is where the wheel is at its highest point relative to the suspended body of the forklift. 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 between 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. Even though a zero scrub radius is possible without an inclined king pin, it needs a deeply dished wheel in order to maintain that the king pin is at the centerline of the wheel. It is much more sensible to tilt the king pin and make use of a less dished wheel. This likewise provides the self-centering effect.
