Walking beam refers to a type of vocational truck suspension made by Hendrickson. There is a beam on each side, with each end connected to one of the drive axles, and the beams pivot in the middle.
Strait axle front beam with king pins.
Axle "beam" - could be the rear, or a front 1/2 axle.Hopefully it's the front because that's a whole lot easier.See "Related Questions" below for more about getting started with replacing a front axle
A walking beam furnace allows the product to be heated from all sides, where a walking hearth furnace only alloys product to be heated from the top and is more suitable for thinner products. There is no major mechanism difference between a walking hearth and a walking beam furnace. For a walking beam furnace, an actual walking beam will lift the product and move it forward. Then the product is lowered onto the stationary beams. While the load is resting on the stationary beams the walking beam moves underneath the product back to the home position ready to perform another walk. Whereas for a walking hearth furnace, portions of the refractory lined hearth are used to raise the product and move it toward the discharge in a walking fashion. Both mechanisms of moving the product to the discharge, are almost identical.
Twist Beam Suspension
It contains a carrier housing on its middle, on the beam .
Dana 44 Twin Traction Beam
should be an 8.8'' rear and a Dana 44 front ( not a solid axle, TTB twin traction beam ) independent suspension on the full size
it is called a balancing beam, when someone walks a tight rope, they need the beam for the equilibrium.
Any speed above walking pace
Its no different than walking on a straight line or on a curb on the side of the road.
A primitive form of steam engine (stationary and marine) dating from Newcomen and Watt! It has been argued that walking beam is a corruption of working beam as this is how the engine works or functions. there is a diamond shaped walking beam (steel in modern (they are long obsolete) ones and one or two cylinders and pistons. Steam is admitted to the the cylinder the piston (and the beam ) tilts up gravity valves trip on the opposite cyoinder and the process repeats itself. a walking beam engine can have a flywheel as the marine types would (the ships"s paddle wheels) or it oculd be uswed to operate pumps where it would be direct action on and off. they have been auxioliary powered by other means (su8c has diesels) and sre still in use on Oil wells pumping up thick crude oil- quite a profitabole venture inthe Middle east. There is also a walking beam esapement on some timepieces that i s sometimng else and would be very difficult to describe without illustrations.
they are the swivel points on the front axle, which allow the wheels to turn through an arc allowing the vehicle to turn, they are located at each end of the solid beam axle and the hub assemblies are attached to them.
