The 62713-002 is a Piper OEM outer bearing component used in aircraft control system or airframe pivot assemblies. It functions as a precision bearing surface that supports controlled rotation or oscillation between mechanical parts while maintaining alignment and reducing friction.

In Piper aircraft applications, outer bearings such as the 62713-002 are typically found in flight control linkages, hinge points, or structural pivot assemblies, depending on aircraft model configuration. As an “outer” bearing element, it works in conjunction with inner bushings or spacers to form a complete pivot system, ensuring smooth and stable movement under load.

The primary function of this component is to provide a durable, low-friction interface that prevents direct metal-to-metal contact between moving parts. This reduces wear, maintains precise geometry within the control system, and ensures consistent handling characteristics throughout the aircraft’s service life.

Manufactured to Piper OEM specifications, the 62713-002 is typically produced from bearing-grade alloy materials or corrosion-resistant steel/bronze, chosen for strength, wear resistance, and performance under cyclic loading and vibration.

Because it is used in mechanically critical assemblies, wear or damage can lead to increased play, reduced precision, or misalignment in the associated system. Regular inspection during maintenance is required, and replacement is performed when wear limits are exceeded.
