The AirCraft AT0016-16 Front Plate is a replacement end plate for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series). If a plate becomes worn, scored or damaged, it can increase friction, create rough running, and accelerate wear on bearings, rotor and vanes. Swapping in a fresh front plate during a service or rebuild helps restore correct alignment and smooth rotation—so your air ratchet feels tighter, runs cleaner and performs more consistently.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirCraft motor end plate replacement for accurate fit and smoother performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n  Front plates locate and support the motor assembly and influence how smoothly the rotor and bearings run.
