AirCraft AT0016-25 Bias Axle For Air Ratchet Wrench
At a Glance: Replacement bias axle/shaft for the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet—supports alignment and stable rotation within the drive/gear mechanism.
In an air ratchet, shafts and axles are the quiet heroes—keeping moving parts aligned so gears mesh correctly and torque flows where it should. The AirCraft AT0016-25 Bias Axle is a replacement axle/shaft used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series) mechanism. It provides a stable support and pivot/drive axis for associated components in the gear or ratchet section, helping maintain correct positioning and smooth movement under load. If an axle is worn, bent, scored or loose at its seating points, the tool can develop play, rough engagement, noise and accelerated wear. Replacing the bias axle restores proper alignment and helps the whole mechanism feel tighter and more dependable.
Axles and drive shafts control the geometry of moving assemblies. Keeping them straight and properly supported reduces backlash and prevents uneven wear on gears, sleeves and housings—especially in high-use workshop tools.
Features
- AT0016-series compatibility Designed as a replacement bias axle for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.
- Precision shaft component Supports accurate positioning of associated drive/gear parts.
- Dual-ended design Made to locate through the assembly for stable support and rotation.
- Durable metal construction Built to handle repeated torque cycles and vibration.
Benefits
- Restores smooth operation: Correct alignment helps reduce rough engagement and vibration.
- Improves reliability: Stable support reduces shifting and protects gears and sleeves from uneven wear.
- Extends service life: Minimises play that can accelerate wear in the ratchet/gear mechanism.
Extra Information
- Intended as a spare part for AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assemblies (AT0016 series).
- Replace the axle if it is bent, scored, corroded, or if the mechanism has excessive play that cannot be corrected with spacers or sleeves.
- Inspect mating bushings/sleeves and gear components during replacement—worn supports can shorten the life of a new axle.
- If a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm placement, orientation and associated parts.
Pro Tip
- Before reassembly, lightly oil the axle and the mating sleeve/bushing surfaces. A clean oil film reduces start-up wear and helps the mechanism bed in smoothly.
