“SKF’s capability to engineer customized high-quality products in a rapid and responsive way is truly impressive,” says Piero Vicendone, managing director, ZF Sachs Italia S.p.A. “Our cooperation with SKF has resulted in our customers’ increased satisfaction with our applications.”
With these high-performing two-wheeler suspension seals, oil retention and dirt protection have been improved by eliminating stick-slip effects. The newly developed material has a special formula that creates a long-lasting self-lubrication capability of the seal during operation.
