Tappet plates

Tappet Plates for AEGs - for optimal feeding, perfect timing and reliable operation

Tappet plates are essential components within the AEG gearbox. They determine the timing with which the nozzle moves, they direct the airflow to the hop-up and ensure that BBs are loaded consistently and at the right moment. A high-quality tappet plate prevents misfeeds, inconsistent FPS behaviour and overloading of internal components. In this category, you will find durable tappet plates that have been carefully tailored to different gearbox configurations so that your replica continues to perform smoothly and reliably.

Why choose a tappet plate upgrade?

A good tappet plate ensures accurately controlled nozzle timing. This prevents feeding problems, improves airflow, reduces wear and tear, and ensures a predictable firing cycle under all conditions. For high-speed builds, DSG configurations, and heavy springs, a strong and stable tappet plate is crucial because any error in timing directly affects the firing pattern and the internal load on the gearbox.

What can you find in this category?

• Tappet plates for V2, V3, V6 and V7 gearbox types
• Reinforced polymer constructions for durability and stability
• Models tailored to standard and high-speed builds
• Smooth nozzle cycle for optimal airflow and BB feeding
• Tappet plates from brands such as Point, UFC, Guarder, Gate, Prometheus and more

Who is it suitable for?

This category is ideal for technical players who are overhauling a gearbox, airsofters who experience misfeeds or timing issues, tuners working on high-speed or high-torque builds, and anyone who wants maximum reliability during intensive use.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does a tappet plate do?

The tappet plate controls the nozzle and regulates the correct timing of BB feeding, which is essential for proper air seal and shot consistency.

Are all tappet plates universally applicable?

No, tappet plates are platform specific. Always check that you are choosing the correct variant for your gearbox type.

How can I tell if my tappet plate is worn?

If misfeeds, irregular FPS or timing problems occur, the tappet plate may be worn or deformed.

Can I replace a tappet plate myself?

Yes, with basic knowledge of gearbox internals, this is possible. For complex high-speed builds, installation by an experienced airsoft technician may be advisable.

Buying guide

• Check compatibility with your gearbox type
• Choose reinforced models for high-torque or high-speed builds
• Pay attention to the flexibility and resilience of the plate
• Combine your tappet plate with the right nozzle for optimal feeding
• Check timing and cycle test after installation

Top tip: Combine your tappet plate with a shim set and a high-quality gear set so that timing, efficiency and durability are perfectly matched.

If you want to realise a complete internal upgrade, AEG Nozzles, Shim Sets, AEG Gear Sets, Motors & Pinion Gears, Pistons & Piston Heads, Cylinder & Cylinder Heads and Springs & Spring Guides are the perfect addition to this category. This allows you to build an efficient, reliable and powerful gearbox that is ready for intensive use.

With Tappet Plates, you choose optimal timing, reliable feeding and smooth operation that allows your AEG to excel on any playing field.
