Overview

The Maxx CNC Aluminium Double O-Ring Bearing AEG Piston Head (part MX-PIS001PHS) is a premium machined piston head built to solve two common gearbox problems at once: inconsistent air seal and main-spring torsion. It is precision-cut as a one-piece part from 6061 aluminium.

Double O-ring sealing

A primary compression O-ring works with a secondary stabilising O-ring to keep the seal firm against the cylinder wall, even at high rates of fire. The ported head design channels air to hold that seal, giving strong and repeatable compression.

Ball bearing benefit

A high-quality ball bearing washer lets the main spring rotate freely as it compresses. That relieves spring twist, reduces stress and helps prevent spring fatigue, so your setup holds its power over time.

Fitting and compatibility

It is designed for M4/M16 Version 2 gearboxes and works across other versions, with an easy install for an experienced tech. As with any piston head, check clearance and shimming during the build. Our Kent airsoft repair workshop can install and bench-test it, and more upgrade parts are under airsoft accessories.

Frequently asked questions

What is the benefit of a double O-ring head?

A primary compression O-ring paired with a secondary stabilising O-ring keeps the seal against the cylinder wall reliable even at high rates of fire, so compression and FPS stay consistent.

What does the ball bearing do?

The ball bearing washer lets the main spring rotate freely as it compresses, reducing stress and helping prevent spring fatigue over time, while smoothing the cycle.

Which gearboxes is it compatible with?

It is designed to fit M4/M16 pattern Version 2 gearboxes and works across other gearbox versions too. Always test-fit and check clearance against your piston and cylinder head.

What material is it made from?

It is precision-machined from 6061 aluminium as a one-piece part with a smooth finish, which gives it strength and a light weight suited to upgraded builds.

Will it noticeably raise my FPS?

The improvement comes from better sealing and reduced spring twist and is modest but consistent. Meaningful FPS changes come from the main spring, which must be chronographed to your site limits.
