The 402-908 is a Piper OEM aircraft bolt used as a structural fastening component in various aircraft assemblies. It is designed to provide a strong and reliable clamping force between components while maintaining alignment and structural integrity under vibration, cyclic loading, and operational stresses.

In Piper aircraft applications, bolts such as the 402-908 are commonly used in airframe structures, landing gear assemblies, flight control systems, engine mounts, and equipment attachment points, depending on aircraft model configuration. Its primary function is to ensure secure mechanical fastening and proper load transfer between joined components.

This bolt is typically installed with compatible nuts, washers, and where required, safety locking devices such as cotter pins or locking features to prevent loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. Correct torque application is essential for maintaining airworthiness and joint reliability.

Manufactured to Piper OEM specifications, the 402-908 is generally made from high-strength aircraft-grade steel or alloy steel, often finished with corrosion-resistant coatings such as cadmium or zinc plating to protect against environmental exposure and corrosion in aviation service conditions.

Because it is used in structural or flight-critical assemblies, proper installation, torqueing, and inspection are essential to ensure safety and long-term reliability.
