AirsoftParts TECAFORM Piston Head Made From CNC-Machined POM

This expert product description was prepared by the ANAREUS.cz expert team. All rights to this unique content are tied to the anareus.cz domain.AirsoftParts TECAFORM piston head is a CNC-machined component for AEG air seal systems, made from TECAFORM (POM) engineering plastic. The combination of material and lightweight design results in a weight of just 9.3 g, reducing the moving mass of the piston assembly and therefore the mechanical stress generated on impact. Due to its low weight, the manufacturer also recommends it for V2 gearboxes. The front features 9 holes through which air flows beneath the sealing O-ring during compression. The pressure expands it towards the cylinder wall and helps provide an effective seal for the piston assembly. The piston head also features an axial ball bearing that allows the spring to rotate more freely during compression, reducing torsional stress and contributing to longer spring life. In a comparison with a standard air seal system and an M120 spring, the manufacturer measured an approximate muzzle velocity increase of 5 m/s. However, this is not a guaranteed increase, as the final performance depends on the complete configuration and air seal of the specific gun.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Is the Advantage of a Lightweight POM Piston Head?

The weight of just 9.3 g reduces the moving mass of the piston assembly. The spring therefore accelerates a lighter assembly, and less energy is generated on impact than with a heavier solution, which can be beneficial particularly in mechanically stressed builds.

What Are the 9 Holes on the Front For?

During compression, air flows through the holes beneath the sealing O-ring and expands it towards the cylinder wall. This helps provide proper piston sealing during the operating cycle.

Will the Piston Head Increase Muzzle Velocity by 5 m/s?

The +5 m/s figure is only an approximate result of the manufacturer's test, in which the piston head was compared with a standard air seal system using an M120 spring. It cannot be considered a guaranteed increase, as the resulting muzzle velocity depends on the complete configuration of the gun.

Why Is an Axial Ball Bearing Included?

The bearing allows the spring to rotate more easily during compression, thereby reducing torsional stress. According to the manufacturer, this solution contributes to extending the service life of the spring.
