Steering knuckle is one of the main parts on the steering axle of a car, which can make the car run stably and transmit the driving direction sensibly. In the driving state of the car, it bears the variable impact load, so it is required to have high strength.
Steering transmission shafts are widely used in automobiles. In front-engine rear-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles, due to the deformation of the elastic suspension, the relative position of the transmission or transfer case output shaft and the axis of the transaxle input shaft often changes, so the cross-shaft steering transmission shaft is generally used. In the steering drive axle, the angle between the inner and outer half shafts changes with the needs of driving, and at this time, the constant speed steering transmission shaft is mostly used. When the rear drive axle is an independent suspension, a steering drive shaft must also be used.
The steering knuckle is an important safety part of the automobile. The industry people all over the world attach great importance to its safety characteristics, and fully understand that its safety characteristics play a particularly important role in the processing of the steering knuckle, and should be controlled throughout the manufacturing process.
Steering knuckle classification, split type is mainly used for passenger cars (sedans), integral type is mainly used for commercial vehicles (trucks); integral type is divided into independent suspension steering knuckle and non-independent suspension steering knuckle.
