MASTERY MART 9 Inches to 13 Inches Office Chair Gas Cylinder, 4" Stroke, Heavy Duty 1000 lbs, Universal Office Chair Replacement Gas Lift Cylinder Pneumatic Shock, Class 4 (Not for 1KEA, Silver)

Perfect replacement for Noble Chairs Hero gas lift. Relatively easy fit - I removed the whole tilt adjustment mechanism, gas lift and floor spider from the chair by removing the 4 x 6mm Allen key bolts, then removed the spider by clouting the end of the gas lift with a reasonably heavy hammer while holding on to the spider. Removal from the rest of the mechanism was easy enough with the aid of a bench vice clamped around the stem of the old gas lift and a bit of a twist of the top assembly. Reassembly was very straightforward and the chair (which is super comfortable) is now back at its proper height. No view on longevity of the replacement so far but the replacement was quick and painless and even if I have to do it every couple of years, it’ll be ok.

excellent product heavy duty and easy to fit...no issues whatsoever

The new cylinder was fine, fitted in seconds and works perfectly. The problem is removing the old one. No skill is needed, only a stillson wrench (the bigger, the better) a heavy hammer and brute strength! There are plenty of videos on YouTube, but basically you lay the chair on its side and clamp the stillson to the stem just below where it enters the chair. Then heave-ho, it isn't going to be easy! It doesn't matter which way you turn it, but you must force the tapered joint to release. It will help if whoever fitted it smeared it with grease first. When done, take the base unit outside and hit the base of the old cylinder really hard with a heavy hammer. Again, it's a tight taper fit and really heavy blows will be required. Once done, that's it - just pop the new one in. Don't forget to first replace any gaiters covering the cylinder, or you will be reaching for the stillson again!

The item arrived by the promised delivery date. It was relatively easy to fit and works well. The whole transaction was a breeze. Recommended.

Was a good fit, functionally works, but has an issue of lifting it's self to full height over night from time to time, not that much of a big deal.

Bought this to replace the piston in my aging Vertagear gaming chair. Perfect replacement. Gives the same lowest level with an extra 1inch/2.5cm of height. Easy to fit, well packaged and seems to work really well. Only time will tell on its longevity. TOP TIP: Be aware that there are varying low and height differences so be sure to measure your existing pistons lowest, highest, overall length and travel length. It's also a good idea to check the taper at the bottom of your existing pistons as not all pistons are equal in this area. This one sticks through the bottom quite a bit so if your wheel base is low to the ground it will probably hit the floor before the wheels. In that case go for one with less of a taper so not so much of the piston sticks out the bottom of your wheel base.

I bought a chair and the gas cylinder that came with it, started to fail with less than 1 month of usage (don't buy chairs from Wayfair), the cylinder was also really short. I am 5ft 11in and the chair was so low, I felt like I was sitting back in my old high school chairs. Got this yesterday (23/06/2026) and fitted it this morning (24/06/2026), on it's lowest setting it is at the right height for me, and is higher than the previous one fully extended. I have no doubt this Gas cylinder will last because I don't need to have it raised at all.

good product

Es funcional, es lo que requeria

funktioniert

Works great and feels like solid quality overall. The cylinder fit perfectly on my office chair and installation was straightforward with no issues. It feels sturdy and smooth when adjusting height, with no sinking or wobble so far. Definitely a reliable replacement part that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Super Gasdruckfeder, hält top. Für meine 1,90 Meter brauchte ich eine extra lange Feder, daher die 437mm Version. Mehr als ausreichend. Selbst für 2 Meter-Menschen sollte es mehr als genug Hub sein um korrekt und ergonomisch zu sitzen. Verwirrend in der Beschreibung hier ist die 450lbs Tragkraft. Dies entspricht ungefähr 204kg, nicht wie in der Beschreibung 450kg. Gleichzeitig wird aber auf Kolben Klasse 4 verwiesen, die ist eigentlich auf 1000lbs normiert was 450kg entspricht. Im Zweifelsfall würde ich mal von 200kg ausgehen. Die Feder reicht also locker für etwas stämmigere Menschen oder auch um eventuell eine Gasdruckfeder die etwas unterdimensioniert ist zu ersetzen. Falls man mehr als 200kg wiegen sollte würde ich vorher beim Hersteller nachfragen. Jedenfalls kann ich die Gasdruckfeder wärmstens empfehlen. Passt wunderbar in Standard Büro und Gamingstühle. HINWEIS: Ich würde jedem empfehlen unbedingt vorher zu testen ob man die alte Gasdruckfeder rausbekommt (bevor man bestellt). Es gibt zwar zig Tutorials und YouTube Videos die zeigen wie man das macht und wie "einfach" das ist. Bisschen WD40 Spray und dreimal Klopfen und schon ist die alte Feder draußen. Nene... Vor allem wenn man einen älteren, etwas "eingesessenen" Stuhl hat (mein Gaming Stuhl zum Beispiel) ist es alles andere als einfach. Habe über ne Stunde rumgeklopft und Gewalt angewendet Hammer, Rohrzange etc. Da war nix zu wollen. Letztlich hat mir ein Kollege in der Firma (erfahrener Schlosser) die Feder mit exzellentem Werkzeug und Geschick heraus bekommen. Ist wirklich alles andere als einfach, deshalb: Erst ausprobieren!
