AirCraft AT0016-31 Top Sleeve For Air Ratchet Wrench
At a Glance: Replacement top sleeve/locating sleeve for the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet—helps keep internal parts aligned for smoother engagement and reduced wear.
Some parts don’t look like much until they’re missing—and then everything suddenly feels “off”. The AirCraft AT0016-31 Top Sleeve is a replacement sleeve component used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series) to guide, locate, or support a related moving part within the assembly. By controlling clearance and helping parts run true, the sleeve contributes to smooth operation, consistent engagement and reduced internal wear. If a sleeve becomes worn, scored, distorted or loose, the tool can develop play, noise or rough movement. Replacing the top sleeve restores proper support and helps the mechanism operate the way it was designed to.
Sleeves are used as wear surfaces and guides in compact tool mechanisms. They’re designed to take the friction and keep higher-value components (like shafts and housings) protected and properly aligned.
