FRONT FORK (Hydraulically damped)
SECTION OF FORK LEG
1. Description
The telescopic fork consists of two legs each of
which comprises a main tube of alloy steel tubing
which is screwed into the Casquette fork head at
the upper end and securely clamped to the fork
crown. Fitted over the lower end of the main tube
is the bottom tube made of high strength
aluminium alloy with an integral lug which carries
the wheel spindle. Fitted on the lower end of the
main tube is a steel bush which is a close fit in the
bore of the bottom tube. The upper end of the
bottom tube carries a cast iron bush which is a
close fit over the outside diameter of the main
tube. These bushes are not being fitted on to the
latest front fork assemblies. The bush is secured to
the bottom tube by means of a threaded housing
which contains two oil seals. A stud known as the
'spring stud' is fitted in the lower end of the bottom
tube and a valve port is secured to the lower end of
the main tube. As the fork operates oil is forced
between the spring stud and the bore of the valve
port forming a hydraulic damping system. A
compression spring is fitted inside the main tube
between the upper end of the spring stud and the
upper end of the main tube. The lower end of the
main tube and upper end of the bottom tube are
protected by a cover secured to the fork crown.
2. Operation of the Fork
The fork provides a range of movement of 6"
from the fully extended to the fully compressed
position. The movement is controlled by the
compression spring and by the hydraulic damping
system. The hydraulic damping is light on the
bump stroke and heavier on the rebound stroke,
thus damping out any tendency to pitching or
oscillation without interfering unduly with the free
movement of the fork when the wheel encounters
an obstacle or a pot hole.
