The damper shaft carries the piston and passes through the seal head, so its surface finish decides how long the seals last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Öhlins service part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 500 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 05500-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFunction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins publishes 16 mm, 500 mm for 05500-24 — the dimensions are the identity of the part. Shaft straightness matters: a bent shaft drags in the seal head and destroys the seal within hours. Shafts are not shortened or extended; the length is the specification. Chrome or nitride treatment is what lets the shaft run in a seal for thousands of kilometres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGenuine Service Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. Öhlins publishes dimensions for its service parts so a workshop can verify before it fits. Order by part number. The dimensions below are the ones Öhlins publishes for it. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentifying the Right Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 05500-24 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. Öhlins states diameter 16 mm, length 500 mm for this number, and those figures are the deciding ones. A shaft is threaded at both ends: one for the piston, one for the mounting. Shaft diameter sets the volume displaced into the reservoir on every compression stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsk us about a full service: as an authorised Öhlins centre we strip, inspect, replace what is worn and set the unit back to its specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 05500-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Damper Shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLength:\u003c\/em\u003e 500 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53649211719946,"sku":"05500-24","price":398.0,"currency_code":"FJD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/05500-24_71e843b2-401f-43c9-9c15-8de558d761f8.png?v=1788874250","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-fj\/products\/ohlins-shaft-16-500-05500-24","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
