Product Description
APEX Airworks - APEX Piston (Full Steel Rack / Vented CNC Aluminum Piston Head / 60A Soft Vitron O-Ring)
Features:
- ZCI OEM glass-reinforced nylon polyamide piston with a hardened steel rack – one of the strongest pistons available currently on the market
- CNC Aluminum Piston Head – with 6 vented ports and a 9-ball thrust bearing set
- 60 Degree Shore Viton O-ring to improve long-term chemical and weather resistance when compared to nitrile rubber o-rings (especially in temperature extremes)
- Softer O-ring provides faster seal at lower pressures
Product Description:
Important: Each piston is backed by a 1 year full repair or replacement warranty. It is recommended to use synthetic oil with PTFE additive for lubrication of the cylinder and o-ring, as well as synthetic PTFE grease for the rack and rails in most cases. Each piston rack is completely secured with strong, semi-rigid epoxy and the head installed with 243 LOCTITE®. These pistons are NOT corrected for angle of engagement, angle of engagement is different between AEGs and must be tuned individually.
The weight of the entire piston assembly comes out to ~29 grams, compared to SHS standard: 15 grams (body and rack, no head) and SHS pre-lightened ~13 grams (body and rack, no head). If you experience PME (premature engagement) it is recommended to short stroke the sector gear and use a stronger spring in most cases. Slowing the drive train down is advisable if air volume is not able to be sacrificed.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH ACETONE
