Techcon 400 Series Piston, 6 cc Manual, Lubricated Rubber

Description

The Techcon 400 Series Piston, 6 cc Manual, Lubricated Rubber drives material through a 6 cc syringe barrel with less resistance than a dry piston. The pre-applied lubricant on the rubber piston face reduces the thumb pressure or air pressure needed to move the piston down the bore, which matters on longer runs where operator fatigue or air consumption adds up.

How a Lubricated Piston Changes Syringe Barrel Dispensing

A rubber piston seals against the inside wall of the barrel as it travels, and that seal creates drag. The lubricant coating on this piston cuts that drag without changing the seal quality, so bead output stays consistent while the piston moves more smoothly across the full 6 cc stroke. Shops running an air-powered stand see steadier pressure readings with a lubricated piston compared to a dry one, since less force goes into overcoming friction and more goes into moving material.

• Capacity: 6 cc
• Material: rubber, pre-lubricated
• Compatible with: Techcon 400 series 6 cc syringe barrel, manual configuration
• Use: manual thumb-press or air-piston dispensing

When to Choose a Lubricated Syringe Barrel Piston Over a Dry One

Pick the lubricated version for higher-viscosity materials or higher-cycle benches, where reduced drag extends piston life and keeps output pressure steadier shot to shot across a full production run. A dry piston still works fine for lower-viscosity fluids or occasional use where the added lubricant is not really needed. Confirm barrel capacity before ordering, since a 6 cc piston will not seal correctly in a 3 cc or 35 cc barrel from the same product family, and an undersized piston will bypass material instead of pushing it cleanly toward the tip.

Pair this piston with compatible mixing nozzles from our dispensers, mixers, and nozzles category. For the full 400 series compatibility chart, see Techcon.
