Aluminium Ventilation Piston Head | Lonex

Aluminium Ventilation Piston Head | Lonex – for your replica

This airsoft piston head from Lonex is an essential component within the gearbox of your AEG. The piston head forms the seal between the piston and the cylinder, ensuring that the air compressed by the spring is efficiently directed to the hop-up unit. The ventilation holes in the design allow excess air to be released, resulting in more consistent air pressure and improved shot-to-shot consistency. You replace a piston head when the original is worn out, when you want to achieve greater air efficiency, or as part of a complete gearbox upgrade.

Technical specifications

This piston head is made from aluminium, providing a robust construction that can withstand the recoil within the gearbox. The black finish gives the component a professional appearance. The design features multiple ventilation holes strategically placed for optimal airflow. The bearing connection ensures smooth movement of the piston during the cycle. The aluminium material offers a good balance between weight and durability, while the ventilation holes help regulate air compression.

Compatibility and application

This piston head is designed for universal use in AEG replicas with a Version 2 gearbox. This makes it compatible with most M4, M16, and MP5 platforms. Installation requires some technical knowledge of gearbox maintenance, as you will need to open the gearbox and disassemble the piston. The component fits both standard and high-speed builds, with the ventilation being especially beneficial for higher rate-of-fire setups where heat development plays a role.
