Permanently lubricated construction using an advanced composite sleeve for the outside of the piston. This sleeve has proprietary solid lubricants in it. The previous 901 piston was lubricated by a thin coating which would wear out in time. This new design will not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Mass centralization. By using a heavy metal insert inside the composite sleeve, total piston mass is the same as the original piston. However, the heavy insert is about 3 times as dense as steel. This concentrates the piston mass in the center of the piston which helps it run smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. New design spring pocket. One end of the handpiece spring fits inside a bored pocket in the piston. In the original design, this pocket was hardened stainless steel. In the new design, this spring pocket is the new lubricated composite. As a result, there is less spring wear and noticeably smoother operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. Lower air pressure and less air consumption. Although this new V3 piston is a drop-in replacement for the original one, it is designed to operate at a slightly lower air pressure (about 2 psi less). But our tests show it still has the same maximum power as the original design. This means lower air consumption (less wear on your compressor) and a lower pressure source of compressed air may be used. In fact, a 30 psi source of compressed air is usually sufficient now. This opens up many different types of air compressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. Cleaner operation. Less frequent cleaning is needed because piston wear is practically zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem shows 2 pieces to show back and front.
