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\u003eÖhlins part number 05508-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter 16 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 260 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Öhlins service part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFunction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins gives it as 16 mm, 260 mm; nothing about that is approximate. Any mark on the polished section is a reason to replace rather than to reassemble. Adjuster shafts run inside the main shaft on units with a rod-through adjuster. Shaft diameter sets the displaced volume, which is why it is part of the damper's specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn original part keeps the unit within its published specification; a near-equivalent quietly moves it. Öhlins keeps service parts available for units long after they leave the current price list. The Öhlins exploded view names the number for each position; we can look it up if you do not have it. Öhlins parts are unit-specific: a close dimension is not a substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentifying the Right Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 05508-10 is unambiguous; the description alone is not, because Öhlins uses similar wording across sizes. The published dimensions are diameter 16 mm, length 260 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. Öhlins hardens and surface-treats its shafts because a scratch on the running surface takes the seal with it. Surface hardness is what lets the shaft survive thousands of cycles through a seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins recommends that its units are serviced by an authorised centre. We are one: rebuild, revalve and setup all happen in our own workshop.\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 05508-10\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 260 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":53649961943306,"sku":"05508-10","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/05508-10_f9150c70-3b93-4ac8-a8e6-e88587b26f66.png?v=1788876796","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-zw\/products\/ohlins-shaft-16-260-05508-10","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
