Fork closed cartridge seal
Developed for reliable uid separation inside the two-wheelerfork assembly system
Two-wheeler cartridge seals from SKFare made of superior low friction NBRcompounds, enhanced by specicallydeveloped designs, providing outstandingsealing performance inside two-wheeler fork applications.
Design application
Closed cartridge applications for motor-cycle and bicycle forks
The features of this innovative sealingsolution are:
• Superior design for robust assembly
• Range of different solutions(unsprung, single spring or doublespring) for wide fork design freedom
• Double spring design suitable for useboth on air spring and oil springcartridges
• Dynamic lip shapes to reduce friction
• Integrated sealing functions to preventoil/air migration
• Metal insert to create ideal seal contactpattern to the shaft and housing
• Reduced axial space to provide moreroom for damping chamber
SKF advantages:
• Reliable uid separation inside thefork for constant dampingperformance
• Possibility to use different fork uidsinside the fork assembly to optimizeperformance
• High efciency during operation toavoid pressure loss and leakage
• Possibility to tailor designs to t mostclosed cartridge applications
• Minimized friction to enhance dampingsetting
• Compatibility with a wide range oforiginal equipment and aftermarketsuspension uids
