Pistons provide airpressure together with the pistonhead.
There are a lot of different types and sizes:
Aluminium/Full Metal Pistons: These Pistons are very strong and very durable.
A downside however is the weight, which causes more stress on the gearbox.
The metal teeth can also damage the gears in case of a gearbox defect.
Half Teeth Pistons: These Pistons are specific for special gears, which are usually Torque Up gears.
Plastic Pistons: Light and strong. These Pistons are used the most, and often have the last teeth made of metal. In the event of a defect, the plastic teeth will break, instead of expensive gears.
Please note! Make sure that the Piston and Sector Gear engage propperly, to prevent wear and damage!
