1.Product Description
The forklift wheel drive shaft assembly is a core component of electric/internal combustion forklift drive systems, specifically designed to efficiently transmit power to the drive wheels while supporting dynamic stability during frequent steering, heavy-load handling, and complex road conditions. Its compact structure, high load-bearing capacity, and fatigue-resistant properties ensure flexible movement and precise control in scenarios such as warehousing, logistics, and port operations, making it a key component for improving operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
2. Product Features
(1) High-Strength Lightweight Design
Precision-forged from special alloy steel, tempered and surface-hardened to achieve a hardness of HRC 50-55 and tensile strength ≥1200 MPa, suitable for heavy-duty operations of 1–10-ton forklifts.
(2) Compact Universal Drive Structure
Equipped with a cross-type constant-velocity universal joint design, supporting ±45° steering angles to accommodate high-frequency turns in confined spaces and wheel displacement caused by uneven terrain.
(3) Long-Lasting Sealing Protection
Dual-layer fluororubber lip seals combined with dust covers provide IP67 protection, resisting oil, dust, and mild chemical corrosion. High-temperature grease (operating range: -45°C to 120°C) ensures extended maintenance intervals.
