At a Glance: Replacement cushion washer for the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet—adds damping and helps protect components by reducing impact and unwanted play.
Sometimes you don’t need a stronger part—you need a smarter one that absorbs the abuse. The AirCraft AT0016-39 Cushion is a replacement cushioning washer/ring used in the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series) to damp vibration, reduce shock loading and help maintain correct clearances inside the assembly. Over time, cushions can harden, wear thin, crack, or deform, which can lead to increased rattle, harsher engagement, and accelerated wear on neighbouring parts. Replacing the cushion helps restore smoother operation and gives the mechanism a little “give” where it’s meant to have it—protecting the tool during repeated cycling.
AirCraft cushioning washer for smoother running and reduced component stress
Cushions and damping rings are used to absorb impact and minimise vibration transfer. This helps stabilise assemblies, reduces noise, and can extend the working life of gears, plates and bearings by lowering shock forces.
Extra Information
Intended as a spare part for AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench assemblies (AT0016 series).
Replace if the cushion is hardened, cracked, worn thin, or if the tool develops extra vibration or rattling.
When servicing, inspect spacers, plates and bearings—excess play can quickly damage a new cushion.
If a parts diagram is available under the Documents tab, use it to confirm correct location and orientation.
Pro Tip
During rebuilds, replace worn cushions at the same time as worn spacers/shims. Mixing “new soft” with “old loose” often means the cushion gets chewed up fast.
Features
AT0016-series compatibility Designed as a replacement cushion for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench range.
Damping washer/ring design Helps absorb shock and reduce vibration in the assembly.
Clearance support component Assists with controlling end-float and unwanted movement.

Benefits
Smoother operation: Helps reduce rattle, harsh engagement and vibration.
Protects internal parts: Damping reduces shock loading on plates, gears and bearings.
Improves long-term reliability: Restoring correct cushioning can reduce wear and noise over time.
Safety
Disconnect the air supply and bleed remaining pressure before servicing the tool.
Wear eye protection—small parts can release unexpectedly during disassembly.
Keep the assembly clean; grit and debris can damage cushioning parts quickly.
Ensure the cushion is seated correctly before reassembly to prevent binding or premature wear.
After reassembly, test at low pressure first to confirm smooth, safe operation.
