A spacer might look simple, but it controls where parts sit, how they align, and how smoothly they move under load. The AirCraft AT0016-18 Spacer is a replacement spacer ring for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series). It helps set correct spacing and positioning between internal components—reducing end-float, improving engagement consistency and helping prevent premature wear. Perfect for rebuilds, repairs, and restoring that “tight and smooth” feel when a tool starts developing play or roughness.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirCraft spacer ring for correct alignment and controlled movement\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n  Spacer rings are used to maintain proper gaps and component location in gear trains and rotating assemblies. Replacing a worn or distorted spacer helps the mechanism run more predictably and protects higher-value parts from uneven stress.\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 spacer for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing-style positioning part\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps control spacing and alignment within the assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable construction\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to handle vibration and repeated cycling in the tool.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService-friendly spare\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for gear\/drive rebuilds and preventative 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\u003eImproves smoothness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Correct spacing helps reduce binding, rough engagement and inconsistent feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces internal play:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps minimise end-float and looseness that can cause rattles or wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtects key components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Better alignment reduces uneven loading on gears, bearings 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\"\u003eAT0016-18\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 – Spacer \/ Spacer 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\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eRubber \/ Composite Ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecLeft\"\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"SpecRight\"\u003eSpacing \/ Alignment \/ End-Float Control\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 spacer is worn, distorted, cracked, or if you notice excessive play in the mechanism.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eDuring rebuilds, inspect mating components (gears, sleeves, bearings and pins) for wear—spacers often show issues when other parts are also tired.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eIf a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm placement and the correct stack order.\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\u003eBefore reassembly, lay parts out in order and take a quick photo.
