Shock1 Photo

A mono-tube, gas pressure shock has a separator piston that provides a seal between the pressurized nitrogen gas and the shock fluid.  As the shock shaft is pushed into the shock body and fluid, it displaces some of the fluid under the separator piston. The gas will compress as the separator piston moves up to make room for the area of the shaft.
