Piston head
Airsoft power gun piston heads are a vital part of the guns operation and performance. These heads are usually made of lightweight aluminum alloy or plastic and serve several important roles:
-
Air Pressure Seal : The piston head must fit snugly against the cylinder in order to provide adequate air pressure to fire the projectile. As a result, it increases firing speed and blown power.
-
Double O-rings : Many piston heads include double O-rings, which provide an even more effective air pressure seal, thus improving gun performance.
-
Flexible components : Piston heads may contain flexible components such as rubber pads or soft pads that reduce shock and vibration between the piston and cylinder, increasing the efficiency and life of the gun.
-
Compatibility : It is important that the piston head is compatible with the type of gearbox used and the modifications that the user can make on the gun. This allows for customization and the desired performance.
-
Long life : Quality piston heads are made of durable materials and can withstand intense shooting loads, which ensures a long life for the gun.
Proper selection and maintenance of airsoft electric gun piston heads is important to ensure the gun performs optimally and is reliable for long-term gaming.
Cylinder head
The cylinder heads of airsoft electric guns play an important role in the performance and reliability of the guns. These cylinder heads are usually made of plastic or aluminum and perform the following important functions:
-
Sealing : The primary role of the cylinder head is to create the necessary air or gas seal between the cylinder and piston of a pistol or machine gun. This is essential to the firing of the projectile and the effectiveness of the weapon.
-
Flexible design : Designed for each gun model and type, cylinder heads have variable designs that allow gun owners to customize performance and FPS (bullet speed) to the needs of their game.
Proper selection and maintenance of airsoft electric gun cylinder heads is essential to ensure that the gun long operate efficiently and reliably during the game.
Piston
The piston of airsoft electric guns is the part that sits between the cylinder behind the piston head. The piston is responsible for the for guiding and positioning the piston head in the cylinder while compressing the spring and compressing the air in the cylinder. The piston determines the rate of fire and power, and also plays an important role in the reliability of the gun.
These pistons are usually made of lightweight but strong materials such as plastic or aluminum and have a design that allows the piston head to be fixed and moved. It is important to choose a piston that has steel teeth. Together, pistons and piston heads help to seal guns with air pressure, which is essential to projectile firing and gun effectiveness. Choosing and maintaining the right piston is also key to ensuring the reliability and performance of your gun.
Cylinder
The cylinders of electric airsoft guns are the parts in which the piston and piston head are located, in the gearbox of the gun. The role of the cylinder is to seal the air in order to squeeze out the projectile. Electric gun cylinders are usually made of aluminum, steel, or other durable materials and must provide an excellent air pressure seal. The length and design of the cylinders can affect bullet velocity and good compression.
Gear
Gear ratios determine the speed and torque ratio between two gears. Below are some examples of the most common transfers:
-
Standard Gearset (18:1) : The most commonly used gear ratio in Airsoft guns is the ratio ratio 18:1. This means that the timing gear (spur gear) turns 18 teeth before the series gear (sector gear) turns 1 tooth. This gear ratio creates a good balance between projectile speed and engine efficiency.
-
High-Speed Gearset (16:1, 14:1, 13:1, 12:1) : The high-speed gears enable faster projectile feeding. For example, a gear ratio of 16:1 or 13:1 means that the timing gear turns 16 or 13 teeth before the series gear turns 1 tooth. This increases the speed of the engine and the rate of fire of the weapon.
-
High-Torque Gearset (32:1, 36:1, 100:200, 100:300) : High-torque gears move the piston more slowly but more powerfully. For example, a gear ratio of 32:1 or 36:1 means that the spur gear turns 32 or 36 teeth before the sector gear turns 1 tooth. This increases the torque of the motor and helps the gun to shoot stably and powerfully.
The selection of gears depends on the player's preference and the purpose of the weapon. The high-speed transmission provides faster shooting and reaction time, while the high-torque transmission provides greater torque and stability. Standard gearing is usually a good middle ground between speed and torque.
IMPORTANT: Before buying a tuning set, make sure that the set is compatible with the replica!
