The material helps absorb the impact generated when the piston assembly reaches the front of the gearbox, which can reduce mechanical stress, vibration and impact noise.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe damper pad can also be used when adjusting the angle of engagement, commonly known as AOE, between the sector gear and the piston rack. Correcting the engagement angle can help the first tooth of the piston meet the sector gear in a more controlled position, reducing stress on the piston teeth and gearbox components.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe included protective disc is installed on top of the Sorbothane® pad. It prevents the piston head from striking the soft damper material directly and helps distribute the impact across the surface of the pad.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe combined thickness of the Sorbothane® pad and protective disc is approximately 3.50 mm.

Unlike ordinary rubber, the material both deforms under load and dissipates part of the impact energy. In an airsoft gearbox, this can spread the piston impact over a longer period of time and reduce the sharp peak load transmitted to the front of the gearbox shell.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWithout an effective damping material, the piston’s kinetic energy is transferred to the gearbox structure in a very short impact. A conventional cylinder head rubber pad provides some cushioning, while Sorbothane® is intended to absorb and dissipate a larger portion of the impact.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nRead more about Sorbothane®, gearbox impact damping and angle of engagement adjustment in the\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/atom-airsoft.fi\/en-fi\/a\/blog\/post\/kohtauskulman-saato-ja-sorbothane\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAtom Airsoft guide to angle of engagement and Sorbothane®\u003c\/a\u003e.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installing the product requires gearbox disassembly and technical knowledge of electric airsoft guns.
