Lubrication And Cooling; Sliding Bushing And Oil Seals - Marzocchi Bomber Suspension Benutzerhandbuch

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 models of the fork that use elastomers,
the proper internal lubricant is grease.

2.4 Sliding bushing and oil seals

Stanchion tubes are guided in the sliders by two Tefl on'-
coated bushings, free from static friction. The seal system
minimizes 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.
