The invention relates to a vehicle walking device and provides an
excavator steering drive axle having axial compensation positioning and flexible axial limiting effects. The
excavator steering drive axle comprises an axle housing, two
brake devices, two hubs, a transmission and a steering apparatus, wherein the axle housing axially extends and is of hollow structure, the transmission comprises a main speed
reducer and universal drives, the main speed
reducer is arranged in the middle of the inner side of the axle housing and used for inputting and converting a radial torque of an engine into an axial torque to be output, the two
brake devices are respectively arranged on the hubs at two ends of the axle housing and used for controlling drive of the hubs, the two hubs are respectively and rotatably arranged at two ends of the axle housing, and the universal drives are arranged in a steering
knuckle and output and transfer the axial torque of the main speed
reducer to the two hubs rotating with respect to the
brake devices respectively. The steering apparatus is arranged between the axle housing and the two hubs and controls rotating angles of the two hubs through the steering
knuckle to achieve steering of an automobile, a wheel side planetary speed reducing mechanism is arranged between the torque output end of the universal drives and the two hubs respectively, the axial torque output ends of the universal drives are respectively provided with a flexible axial compensation limiting device enabling all sun wheels and all planetary gears on the planetary speed reducing mechanisms to be always kept meshed and driven on the same axial face.
