SKF supplies oil and wiper seals for motorcycles

SKF has won a contract to supply ZF Sachs Italy with 140,000 oil and wiper seals each year, to be used on the forks of high-performance motorcycles.

SKF developed a new material to meet the specific requirements of ZF Sachs, featuring a special formulation that allows the seals to provide long-lasting self lubrication during operation.

The seals eliminate stick and slip effects to enable high oil retention and prevent contamination from dirt and dust.

Laboratory tests proved that the SKF seals could reduce friction by more than 20 per cent in comparison to competing products.

As the rider is in direct connection with the front suspension system through the handlebar, the smoothness of the fork movement is said to be highly perceptible.

In particular, pilots experienced an improved degree of smoothness that resulted in more accurate and comfortable riding during field tests with the SKF seals.
