The AirCraft AT0016-17 Front Bearing is a precision replacement bearing for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series), supporting the front\/drive end of the rotating assembly. It helps keep shafts aligned, reduces friction and supports stable rotation—so your ratchet runs cleaner, quieter and more consistently. Ideal for rebuilds, servicing, and fixing that “gritty” feel that slowly steals performance.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirCraft front bearing replacement for smooth rotation and reduced wear\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n  Bearings keep rotating parts running true. Replacing a worn front bearing reduces drag and heat build-up, and helps protect housings and shafts from premature wear—especially in high-use workshop environments.\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 front bearing for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep groove ball bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports smooth, stable rotation and helps handle radial load.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal shielded construction\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps retain lubrication and reduce dust ingress.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision fit\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured for consistent seating and reliable performance.\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\u003eQuieter, smoother running:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces roughness, vibration and bearing noise during use.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproves efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower friction helps the tool spin freely and maintain performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtends tool life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports correct alignment and reduces wear on shafts and housings.\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\"\u003eAT0016-17\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 – Front Ball Bearing\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\"\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eDeep Groove Ball Bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eSeal\/Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eMetal Shielded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\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 the front bearing if you notice grinding noise, excessive play, rough rotation, corrosion, or heat build-up.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eClean the bearing seat and shaft before fitting—dirt or burrs can damage the new bearing during installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eIf a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm position 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\u003eWhen pressing a bearing into a housing, apply pressure to the outer race; when pressing onto a shaft, apply pressure to the inner race.
