Piston seal

The innovative sealing solution for superior oil/air retention inside two-wheeler fork and shock absorber applications

The superior low friction NBR compounds combined with the renewed seal design of SKF piston seals provide outstanding sealing performance in two-wheeler fork and shock absorber applications.

The features of this innovative sealing solutions are:

• Superior design for robust assembly
• Integrated sealing functions to prevent oil/air migration
• Dynamic lip shapes to minimize friction
• Dynamic lips supported by back-springs to keep constant performance and adaption to a wide pressure range
• Metal insert to create optimum seal contact pattern to the shaft and housing
• Reduced axial space to provide more room for damping chamber

SKF advantages:

• High-pressure sealing without loss of performance
• Superior sealing against oil/air migration
• Minimized friction to enhance damping setting
• Compatibility with a wide range of original equipment and aftermarket suspension fluids
• Possibility to tailor designs to most applications
• Simplified installation
