AirCraft AT0016-39 Cushion For Air Ratchet Wrench
At a Glance: Replacement cushion washer for the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet—adds damping and helps protect components by reducing impact and unwanted play.
Sometimes you don’t need a stronger part—you need a smarter one that absorbs the abuse. The AirCraft AT0016-39 Cushion is a replacement cushioning washer/ring used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series) to damp vibration, reduce shock loading and help maintain correct clearances inside the assembly. Over time, cushions can harden, wear thin, crack, or deform, which can lead to increased rattle, harsher engagement, and accelerated wear on neighbouring parts. Replacing the cushion helps restore smoother operation and gives the mechanism a little “give” where it’s meant to have it—protecting the tool during repeated cycling.
Cushions and damping rings are used to absorb impact and minimise vibration transfer. This helps stabilise assemblies, reduces noise, and can extend the working life of gears, plates and bearings by lowering shock forces.
