Forklift Pinion

Pinion for Forklifts - The king pin, typically constructed out of metal, is the major axis in the steering device of a motor vehicle. The initial design was in fact a steel pin on which the movable steerable wheel was attached to the suspension. Able to freely rotate on a single axis, it restricted the degrees of freedom of motion of the remainder of the front suspension. In the 1950s, when its bearings were substituted by ball joints, more in depth suspension designs became accessible to designers. King pin suspensions are still utilized on several heavy trucks as 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. These days, the term may not even refer to an actual pin but the axis in which the steered wheels turn.

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

Another effect of the kingpin inclination is to arrange 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 points coincide, the scrub radius is defined as zero. Even if a zero scrub radius is possible without an inclined king pin, it requires a deeply dished wheel so as to maintain that the king pin is at the centerline of the wheel. It is much more sensible to incline the king pin and make use of a less dished wheel. This likewise offers the self-centering effect.
