  • Patent number: 11511793
    Abstract: A steering axle for steering the wheels on the axle of a four-wheel forklift truck by a hydraulic or electric steering device. The steering axle has an axle beam with first and second wheel carriers. The wheel carriers are arranged pivotably on the axle beam. A steering rod is connected, in articulated fashion, to the two wheel carriers in order to transmit steering movements. A steering actuator produces the steering movement and has an actuator housing. The actuator housing has at least one guide section for the passage of the steering rod through the actuator housing. The steering actuator has at least one sliding bearing device for the radial support of the steering rod on the at least one guide section.

  • Patent number: 9453568
    Abstract: A drivable axle, in particular a rigid axle, is provided for a motor vehicle the axle has a differential gear, at least one gear bearing, at least one axle tube, and at least one axle shaft. The differential gear features a volume (V1) for lubricant separate from the axle tube. The differential gear is sealed at the axle tube by using a gap-type seal.

  • Publication number: 20150104245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a securing element for securing an axial stop element, in particular a C-clip, radially attached to a shaft. The securing element is designed in such a manner that it is attachable to the shaft and features at least one spring-elastic axle journal, which, in the attached state of the securing element, it exerts a radial holding force for securing the axial stop element (5). A shaft device and a differential gear with such a securing element for securing an axial stop element to a shaft of the shaft device or differential gear is also provided. An axial stop element with at least one positive-locking element that is lockable with one positive-locking element of such a securing element is also provided.
