WHAT IS IT?

SKF floating piston for WP and Ohlins shocks is a
replacement to their OEM gas to oil separator which is
present in the reservoir of those shocks.
WHY?
OEM separator is normally built with a rigid plastic or
metal body surrounded with a thick O-ring sealing into
the reservoir body. This type of design causes significant
friction against vertical movement of the separator,
making it difficult for the shock to react to small high
frequency bump absorption.

HOW?
SKF Floating piston is designed to replace OEM separator
without having to replace the OEM reservoir design. The
SKF floating piston is made using the SKF special low
friction compound. It features two sealing lips against the
reservoir walls for perfect seal and separation between
oil and gas. Moreover the central portion of the piston
membrane is designed with a level of flexibility.
BENEFITS
The SKF Floating piston equipped reservoir allows
for increased reactivity of the shock in absorbing high
frequency small bumps and in following the oil transfers
from/to the body from/to the reservoir. The flexible
center membrane starts deforming first, anticipating the
complete piston movement, thus enhancing the shock
reactivity to small bump absorption.
