Tata's Nano and Singur

Tata Motors, the creators of the world's cheapest car “Nano“, has reached an agreement with protestors at its factory in Singur, West Bengal.

The plant in Singur is 90 % complete but demonstrators had stopped construction to protest what they describe as the forced eviction of local farmers.

West Bengal state's opposition Trinamool Congress party, which has been spearheading opposition to the plant, says it has reached a deal with the state government that would see some of the land for the nearly-complete factory returned to displaced farmers.

Other farmers will receive compensation.

Tata Group, hoping to launch the two and a half thousand US dollar 'Nano' next month, warned last week the plant would be moved out of West Bengal if the demonstrations continued.

About Axle

An axle is a central shaft for a rotating wheel or gear. In some cases, the axle may be fixed in position with a bearing or bushing to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle. In other cases the wheel or gear may be fixed to the axle, with bearings or bushings provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. Sometimes, especially in the cases of bicycles, the latter type is referred to as a spindle.

Axles are an integral structural component of a wheeled vehicle. The axles are used to maintain the position of the wheels relative to each other and to the vehicle body. As we know that in the maximum number of vehicles the wheels are the only part touching the ground, the axles must bear the weight of the vehicle plus any cargo, as well as acceleration and braking forces.

Source Axle

One can source axle directly from the Suppliers of Axle listed at IndianIndustry.com
