Herman Miller Aeron Classic Replacement Gas Lift – Top Activated

Heavy duty two-stage replacement gas lift for Herman Miller Aeron Size, A, B or C Classic chairs with a TOP ACTIVATED button. If your old gas lift has the product code 1BOWM8 or 1BORG8 stamped on the side, then this is a suitable replacement.

Other cheaper alternative models will work, however this is the preferred gas lift because the pin-style button on the top of the gas lift fits snugly inside the gas lift activation lever when it’s depressed. Using the cheaper variety will eventually cause the plastic gas lift button to wear down over time – the result being the gas lift won’t activate and may need adjustment from time to time. You can purchase the alternative versions here and here.

You can find Aeron Classic SIDE ACTIVATED gas lifts here.

IMPORTANT: You should always check which gas lift version you have by removing the plastic mechanism cover on your Aeron. See below for how to check.

HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR HERMAN MILLER AERON IS TOP-ACTIVATED: The video below shows how a top-activated gas lift works on a Classic Aeron Chair. Remember, the button/lever to control the gas lift is on the side of your chair, however it is activated from the top as shown below. Note: The plastic mechanism cover has been removed in this video for ease of viewing.
