Forklift Pinions

Forklift Pinion - The king pin, normally made from metal, is the main axis in the steering mechanism of a vehicle. The first design was really a steel pin on which the movable steerable wheel was connected to the suspension. Able to freely rotate on a single axis, it limited the degrees of freedom of motion of the remainder of the front suspension. During the 1950s, the time its bearings were replaced by ball joints, more detailed suspension designs became obtainable to designers. King pin suspensions are nevertheless used on several heavy trucks because they can lift much heavier weights.

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

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

One more impact of the kingpin inclination is to set the scrub radius of the steered wheel. The scrub radius is the offset amid 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 if 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 practical to slant the king pin and use a less dished wheel. This likewise offers the self-centering effect.
