AirCraft Thrust Washer for Air Ratchet Wrench 3/8" (AT0015-37) for Model AT0015
At a Glance: OEM-fit thrust washer for the AirCraft AT0015 3/8" air ratchet wrench—reduces friction and maintains correct spacing where parts rotate under axial load.
The AirCraft AT0015-37 thrust washer is a critical spacing and wear component used in the AT0015 3/8" air ratchet wrench. It sits between rotating or sliding parts to carry axial (end) load, minimise friction, and help keep the drive assembly aligned. A worn, distorted, or damaged thrust washer can lead to rough operation, binding, excess end-play, noise, and accelerated wear on adjacent components. Replacing this washer helps restore smooth rotation and protects key drivetrain parts inside the ratchet head.
A thrust washer is a flat bearing surface that supports end-load between moving parts, helping them turn smoothly without grinding into each other.
Features
- OEM-fit replacement Designed for correct fit in the AirCraft AT0015 mechanism.
- Axial load support Helps carry end-load to maintain correct assembly spacing.
- Wear protection Acts as a sacrificial surface to protect neighbouring components.
Benefits
- Smoother operation: Reduces friction and helps prevent binding in the ratchet head.
- Improved alignment: Helps control end-play for consistent performance.
- Extends service life: Reduces wear on more expensive drivetrain parts.
Extra Information
- Compatibility: AirCraft AT0015 Air Ratchet Wrench 3/8" (spare part code: AT0015-37).
- Typical symptoms of wear: Rough/dragging feel, excessive end-play, squealing/grinding, or inconsistent ratcheting.
- Service note: Inspect mating surfaces and adjacent washers/bearings for scoring or heat marks during replacement.
Pro Tip
- Lightly lubricate thrust surfaces during assembly—this helps the washer “bed in” and keeps the ratchet head running smooth and cool.
