The 62743-002 is a Piper OEM control system spacer bushing used in aircraft flight control linkage assemblies to maintain correct spacing, alignment, and smooth mechanical movement between connected components. It serves as a precision-fit interface part in pivot joints where bolts or pins pass through control system linkages.

In Piper aircraft applications, this spacer bushing is typically used in primary flight control systems such as aileron, elevator, or rudder linkages, depending on aircraft model configuration. Its role is to ensure proper geometry between moving parts while allowing smooth, low-friction rotation without binding or excessive play.

The bushing also helps distribute loads evenly across the joint, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact between structural components. This reduces wear, preserves alignment, and ensures consistent control feel and responsiveness during flight operations.

Manufactured to Piper OEM specifications, the 62743-002 is typically produced from bearing-grade bronze or corrosion-resistant alloy material, chosen for its durability, low friction properties, and ability to withstand cyclic loading and vibration over long service life.

Because it is part of a flight-critical system, any wear beyond allowable limits can affect control precision. Regular inspection for elongation, scoring, or deformation is required, and replacement should be performed when wear limits are exceeded.
