In order to study the sensor distribution program in health monitoring of side forklift steering, we visited many ports and warehouses for inspection of side forklift steering safety in Huangpu district of Guangzhou, and summarized the most dangerous part of steering failure. Then we built a model of the steering mechanism which was simplified, and did motion simulation analysis .Then the dynamic simulation analysis was carried out on the ball pin. Finally, through the simulation calculation of maximum stress under various working conditions, we can determine the position of sensors stationing, and it provided with the train of thought of sensors distribution in health monitoring of side forklift steering mechanism.
