The 62713-004 is a Piper OEM outer bushing assembly used in aircraft control system and airframe linkage applications. It functions as an external bearing interface component that supports pivoting movement while maintaining correct alignment and spacing between structural and mechanical parts.

In Piper aircraft systems, outer bushing assemblies are typically used in flight control linkages, hinge points, or structural pivot joints, depending on aircraft model configuration. The “outer” designation indicates its position within a multi-component bushing or bearing stack, where it works in combination with inner bushings, spacers, or sleeves to form a complete pivot assembly.

The primary function of the 62713-004 is to provide a low-friction, wear-resistant surface for rotating or oscillating movement while preventing direct metal-to-metal contact. This helps maintain smooth control operation, reduces mechanical wear, and preserves alignment within the system over time.

Manufactured to Piper OEM specifications, the part is typically made from bearing-grade alloy or corrosion-resistant steel/bronze materials, selected for durability, load resistance, and long service life under vibration and cyclic loading conditions typical in aircraft operation.

Because it is part of a mechanical or flight control assembly, wear or deformation can result in increased play, reduced precision, or improper alignment. Regular inspection and replacement during scheduled maintenance is required when wear limits are exceeded.
