The steering knuckle assembly is an important component of agricultural machinery, such as tractors and combines. It is responsible for connecting the front wheels to the steering system, allowing the operator to control the direction of the vehicle.
The assembly typically consists of several parts, including the steering knuckle, spindle, wheel hub, bearings, and other related components. The steering knuckle is a large, rugged piece that connects the axle to the wheel hub. It is designed to withstand the heavy loads and forces encountered during agricultural operations.
The spindle is a cylindrical shaft that connects the steering knuckle to the wheel hub. It provides support and stability to the wheel assembly, allowing it to rotate smoothly. The wheel hub is the part that holds the wheel in place and allows it to rotate freely.
Bearings are used to reduce friction and provide smooth rotation of the wheel assembly. They are typically located between the spindle…
