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.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirCraft cushioning washer for smoother running and reduced component stress\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n  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.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Features and Benefits --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAT0016-series compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed as a replacement cushion for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDamping washer\/ring design\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps absorb shock and reduce vibration in the assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance support component\u003c\/strong\u003e Assists with controlling end-float and unwanted movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService replacement part\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal during ratchet head rebuilds and general tool maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoother operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps reduce rattle, harsh engagement and vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtects internal parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Damping reduces shock loading on plates, gears and bearings.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproves long-term reliability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restoring correct cushioning can reduce wear and noise over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Specifications TAB --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003ctable class=\"table SpecsTable\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cthead\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\r\n      \u003cth class=\"SpecsSubHeading\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n      \u003cth class=\"SpecsSubHeading\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\r\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eAirCraft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eCat No.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eAT0016-39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eSpare Part – Cushion Washer \/ Cushion Ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eCompatible Tool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eAirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eDamping \/ Vibration Reduction \/ Clearance Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eRubber \/ Composite Cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eExtra Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Extra Information TAB --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eExtra Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eIntended as a spare part for AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assemblies (AT0016 series).\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eReplace if the cushion is hardened, cracked, worn thin, or if the tool develops extra vibration or rattling.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen servicing, inspect spacers, plates and bearings—excess play can quickly damage a new cushion.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eIf a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm correct location and orientation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eDuring rebuilds, replace worn cushions at the same time as worn spacers\/shims.
