AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the forklift steering axle structure, poor sealing of the iron-shell oil seal leads to grease leakage. Insufficient grease injection through the kingpin causes damage to the needle roller bearings, reducing the service life of the steering axle.

Method used

The design employs an upper pin seat, upper end cover, and oil seal to form a sealed space. Combined with a one-way thrust ball bearing and a U-shaped seal ring, it prevents grease leakage and blocks grease from spreading to the needle roller bearing through the end of the kingpin, ensuring sufficient grease addition.

Benefits of technology

It improves the sealing performance of grease, prevents leakage, ensures efficient operation of needle roller bearings, extends service life, and enhances the load capacity and overall service life of the steering axle.
