Forklift steering axle structure
By designing a pin seat, upper end cover, and oil seal in the forklift steering axle, combined with a one-way thrust ball bearing and a U-shaped seal, the problems of grease leakage and insufficient grease filling are solved, achieving sufficient grease addition and sealing, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the needle roller bearing and the service life of the steering axle.

AI Technical Summary
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.
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.
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.
