Description
The 0512172-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation pulley bracket — a support fitting that secures or positions a component in the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0512172-1 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Fit and load rating define a bearing's job, so matching the specified part protects both function and service life. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection.
Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration.
For a regulated aircraft component, correct identification by factory part number is what guarantees the exact form, fit, and function the design calls for.
Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
