AirCraft AT0016-32 Spacer For Air Ratchet Wrench
At a Glance: Replacement spacer/shim for the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet—sets correct clearances to keep the mechanism aligned and running smoothly.
In tight mechanical assemblies, a “little spacer” is basically a precision decision about how the whole tool behaves. The AirCraft AT0016-32 Spacer is a replacement spacer shim used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series) to control clearance and component positioning. By keeping parts correctly spaced, it helps reduce end-float (unwanted movement), supports smooth engagement, and prevents metal-to-metal rubbing where it shouldn’t happen. If a spacer is worn, distorted, or missing, the ratchet can feel rough, develop play, or start wearing higher-value components faster. Replacing the spacer brings the assembly back into alignment for dependable, consistent operation.
Spacers and shims are used to fine-tune internal positioning—especially around bearings, plates and gear carriers. Correct spacing helps reduce backlash and protects parts from uneven stress and premature wear.
Features
- AT0016-series compatibility Designed as a replacement spacer for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.
- Shim-style spacer profile Controls clearance and supports accurate component positioning.
- Precision-cut form Helps components seat correctly for smooth operation.
- Durable construction Built to handle vibration and repeated cycling in workshop use.
Benefits
- Reduces play and rattle: Correct spacing helps minimise end-float and unwanted movement.
- Improves smoothness: Better alignment reduces binding and rough engagement.
- Protects key components: Prevents metal-to-metal contact and uneven loading on bearings, plates and gears.
Extra Information
- Intended as a spare part for AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assemblies (AT0016 series).
- Replace if the spacer is bent, cracked, worn thin, or if the mechanism shows excessive play or uneven wear patterns.
- When servicing, inspect related parts (bearings, plates, sleeves and gear carrier) as wear can occur together.
- If a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm correct position, orientation and stack order.
Pro Tip
- Keep spacers organised in order during teardown. A simple “left-to-right” parts layout (or a quick photo) prevents stack-up mistakes that can cause binding or excessive play.

Safety
- Disconnect the air supply and bleed remaining pressure before servicing the tool.
- Wear eye protection—small parts can release during disassembly and reassembly.
- Keep work area clean and organise parts to prevent incorrect spacer stack-up.
- Do not force assemblies closed; if it binds, re-check spacer order and component seating.
- After reassembly, test at low pressure first to confirm smooth engagement and safe operation.
