AEG Reinforced Piston with 16 Steel Teeth

RetroArms Reinforced Piston with 16 Steel Teeth
The new generation of steel-toothed piston with 16 teeth combines a reinforced polymer body with a durable steel rack. The body made of PA6.6 with 30% carbon fiber and 5% molybdenum is designed to withstand high mechanical loads. The steel rack made of 14260 (54SiCr6) is CNC machined and subsequently hardened. With a hardness of 52–54 HRC, the teeth remain strong while retaining the flexibility required for reliable operation. The piston is also suitable for setups with the strongest springs. Do not lubricate the polymer body; it is designed to run dry, while grease should only be applied to the steel rack.
Key Features

Polyamide PA6.6 with Carbon Fiber
The body is made of Polyamide PA6.6 with 30% carbon fiber and 5% molybdenum, designed to withstand high loads.

Steel Rack Made of 14260 (54SiCr6)
The rack is made of spring steel 14260 (54SiCr6), combining the strength and flexibility required for a heavily loaded gear mechanism.

CNC Machining
After annealing, the steel rack is precisely milled on a CNC machining center and subsequently heat treated.

52–54 HRC Hardness
The steel rack is hardened to 52–54 HRC, providing hard yet sufficiently flexible teeth without unnecessary brittleness.

Suitable for Strong Springs
The piston can also be used in high-performance setups with the strongest springs. For proper lubrication, grease should only be applied to the steel rack.
