Front Plate For Air Ratchet Wrench

At a Glance: Replacement front/end plate that helps keep the AirCraft AT0016 air ratchet motor aligned for smooth, efficient running.

The front plate is one of the precision “bookends” of your air ratchet’s motor—supporting rotating parts and keeping everything running true. The AirCraft AT0016-16 Front Plate is a replacement end plate for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series). If a plate becomes worn, scored or damaged, it can increase friction, create rough running, and accelerate wear on bearings, rotor and vanes. Swapping in a fresh front plate during a service or rebuild helps restore correct alignment and smooth rotation—so your air ratchet feels tighter, runs cleaner and performs more consistently.

Front plates locate and support the motor assembly and influence how smoothly the rotor and bearings run. Replacing worn plates is a smart rebuild move—especially when you’re chasing vibration, noise or inconsistent performance.
