## Description

These cylinders are a very common standard height and adjustment range for average office chairs. Great for replacement of old or worn out gas lift cylinders on chairs that are in otherwise good condition. Always remove gas lift cylinders with care and never heat or puncture.

Review: Fixed my Aeron chair! - I knew that the gas lift cylinder in my Aeron chair was failing, so I purchased this in advance of its total collapse. So recently when my old cylinder literally fell apart, I was ready to repair my chair. Unfortunately though, the old cylinder was almost impossible to remove. I was not alone in this problem. I have read in multiple locations that others had the same issue. Even though my old cylinder seemed impossible to remove, it was placed into the chair with only friction holding it in place. I used a hammer and a pipe wrench to remove the old cylinder. It took a great deal of effort, and at one stage my son pounded it hard across its end in order to loosen it. Only then could I twist it off with the pipe wrench. The effort seemed extraordinary, but I was finally able to remove the old cylinder. Once the old cylinder was removed, the new cylinder slip easily into place. It fit perfectly. Initially after reassembling the chair the cylinder would not hold its position. I then adjusted the cylinder release "striker", so when I sat in the chair it did not unintentionally press the release button at the cylinder top. After that adjustment, the chair has been perfect. It seems like new.
Review: Works for Aeron Chair Built in 2000 - I originally contacted my local Herman Miller supplier about a replacement gas cylinder for my chair (a thing on the bottom of the gas cylinder broke, and a metal rod poked out the bottom down to the floor). They wanted almost $40 and 3-4 weeks to get it to me. They mentioned that an Aeron this old needed a different gas cylinder than what they're using now, so it would need to be ordered from the manufacturer. Anyway, waiting is for chumps. I need my chair. For my butt. So I started cruising around to see what I could do to get it fixed in a hurry. I found this replacement on here with a couple of comments about how it actually has a longer travel than most of the other replacement cylinders, which is good for me since I'm tall. It was a bit of a gamble, since I couldn't see any reviews that mentioned whether they had tried this cylinder with an Aeron as old as mine. Well I got it in and installed and it works perfectly. It took a little adjustment of the allen screw that presses down on the actuator in the bottom of the chair, but that was relatively painless. It fits, it holds my weight, it's nice and tall, and it didn't take 3-4 weeks to get to me. My butt can rest easy once again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit a Herman Miller Aeron?**
A: We believe this cylinder should fit and work well with a Herman Miller Aeron chair.  There are a few editions of the Aeron chair that used a different method of activating the gas cylinder but they seem to be rare so chances are, this one should work for your application.  Thank you for asking.

**Q: Will this work for the Steelcase Leap Chairs?**
A: Everyone with a Leap v1 or v2 before 2009 like me. All the large white or other colored tips will not work for the leap chairs. I angle grinder one down, I used a Dremel on one, but I think this is going to be the case for all top activated gas cylinders on here. You can pay way more money and get the perfect one but I like cutting and using the Dremel so it’s up to you.

**Q: What is the weight rating on this cylinder?**
A: There was no specific rating on the cylinders, but after installing them, several people from 250# to 300#+ have set in them with no problems.  None of the cylinders tried to collapse.  They hold very well!

**Q: What is the height the cylinder  will lift the chair?  I need one that will lift the seat of the chair from the the base about 23 inches. Help**
A: This is not that high.  You need to keep searching for some type of extra tall lift.  Or, get an elevated base... a different base that will lift you the additional 5 or 6 inches.  At full extension, the bottom of my seat is lifted about 15 inches above the top of the star base.  From the floor, the top of my seat is almost 23" from the floor.  Hope  that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought a very nice used office chair from an office furniture outlet
*by V***R on September 18, 2015*

Bought a very nice used office chair from an office furniture outlet. After a year it started to sag and lose pressure in surprising little drops. Brought it back to the place I purchesed for a new piston. They replaced the old one for free (with another used one) and within a week it was sagging again. A quick search and I was delighted to find that replacement Pistons were fairly inexpensive... Installed in less than 5 min, more like 3 min... Removed the bracket/base from the chair by removing the 4 screws, banged the bottom of the old piston with a regular hammer with the wheel base on the carpet at a 90 degree angle and the piston/chair bracket popped right out of the wheel base, then I flipped the bracket/piston upside down and while holding the piston with the bracket slightly in the air whacked the bracket twice and it popped right off the piston. Screwed the bracket back on the chair, popped the new piston in the bracket with a couple of hammer taps on the piston bottom, flipped the chair over and dropped into the wheel base... Done. I went so fast I forgot to put the accordion plastic back on the piston, no big deal though. No WD-40, just a plain hammer and a power screw driver... Oh and it's much taller than the last one and works perfectly. For 20 bucks I'm super satisfied and if it lasts a year I think that's money well spent (hoping it lasts much longer!!!)
