AirCraft AT0016-31 Top Sleeve For Air Ratchet Wrench
At a Glance: Replacement top sleeve/locating sleeve for the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet—helps keep internal parts aligned for smoother engagement and reduced wear.
Some parts don’t look like much until they’re missing—and then everything suddenly feels “off”. The AirCraft AT0016-31 Top Sleeve is a replacement sleeve component used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series) to guide, locate, or support a related moving part within the assembly. By controlling clearance and helping parts run true, the sleeve contributes to smooth operation, consistent engagement and reduced internal wear. If a sleeve becomes worn, scored, distorted or loose, the tool can develop play, noise or rough movement. Replacing the top sleeve restores proper support and helps the mechanism operate the way it was designed to.
Sleeves are used as wear surfaces and guides in compact tool mechanisms. They’re designed to take the friction and keep higher-value components (like shafts and housings) protected and properly aligned.
Features
- AT0016-series compatibility Designed as a replacement top sleeve for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.
- Guide/locating sleeve design Helps maintain correct positioning and controlled movement.
- Precision cylindrical profile Supports consistent fitment in the relevant bore/assembly.
- Durable construction Built to handle vibration and repeated cycling in workshop use.
Benefits
- Improves smoothness: Restores guided movement and reduces rough engagement or binding.
- Reduces play: Helps tighten up the mechanism by controlling clearance.
- Protects key components: Acts as a wear surface to reduce damage to shafts and housings.
Extra Information
- Intended as a spare part for AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assemblies (AT0016 series).
- Replace if the sleeve is scored, oval, cracked, or loose, or if the mechanism shows excess movement or noise.
- Inspect the mating shaft/pin and adjacent bearings—worn mating parts can shorten the life of a new sleeve.
- If a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm exact position and orientation.
Pro Tip
- Lightly oil the sleeve during assembly and make sure all bores are clean. Most premature sleeve wear comes from dry running or grit contamination.
