SKF FLOATING SHOCK PISTON WP LINKAGE / PDS <2015
SKF floating piston for WP and Ohlins shocks is a replacement for the OEM gas to oil separator found in the reservoir. The OEM separator's rigid design causes friction and hinders shock reaction to small bumps. The SKF floating piston utilizes a special low friction compound with two sealing lips for a perfect seal between oil and gas. Its flexible center membrane deforms first, anticipating piston movement and enhancing shock reactivity to high frequency small bumps and oil transfers.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Upgrade Your Suspension Performance with the SKF Floating Shock Piston
The SKF Floating Shock Piston is a precision-engineered replacement for the standard OEM gas-to-oil separator found in WP and Ohlins shock reservoirs. Designed to eliminate the performance limitations of stock components, this piston is an essential upgrade for riders looking to improve suspension sensitivity and overall handling precision.
Why Replace Your OEM Separator?
Standard OEM separators often utilize rigid plastic or metal bodies paired with thick O-ring seals. This design generates significant friction against the reservoir walls, which hinders the vertical movement of the separator. This added drag prevents your shock from reacting quickly to small, high-frequency bumps, leading to a harsher ride and reduced traction.
Advanced SKF Low-Friction Technology
The SKF Floating Shock Piston is manufactured using a specialized, proprietary low-friction compound that significantly reduces drag. Unlike standard separators, this unit features two dedicated sealing lips that provide an airtight and oil-tight seal against the reservoir walls, ensuring optimal gas and oil separation without the high friction of traditional O-rings.
Key Benefits and Features
- Enhanced Sensitivity: Dramatically improves the shock's ability to react to small, high-frequency bumps, providing a smoother and more controlled feel.
- Flexible Membrane Design: The central portion of the piston is engineered with a specific level of flexibility. This membrane deforms before the entire piston moves, anticipating fluid transfers and improving the shock's responsiveness.
- Improved Fluid Dynamics: Allows for seamless oil transfer between the shock body and the reservoir, maintaining consistent damping performance throughout your ride.
- Direct Replacement: Designed to install seamlessly into your existing OEM shock reservoir, requiring no modifications to the original housing design.
- Superior Sealing: Double-lip seal technology provides a perfect barrier between the nitrogen gas and suspension oil, maintaining system integrity over long periods.
