2.3 Lubrication and cooling
Pumping rods are immersed in oil ( Open Bath
System ). This system provides proper
lubrication and cooling of the inner sliding parts;
furthermore, the oil volume works as a damping
and setting element.
The Open Bath system reduces the
maintenance frequency compared to a sealed
cartridge system.
On the models using elastomers a correct inside
lubrication is made by means of grease.
2.4 Sliding bushing and oil seals
Stanchion tubes are guided in the sliders by two
teflon-coated bushings, free from static friction.
The seal system prevents oil leaks and
contamination from particles entering the fork by
means of a special dual-lip oil seal and a dust
seal at the top of each slider.
