Description
The MS21233-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation bearing that supports rotational or pivoting motion within a mechanism. It fits the Citation Latitude and Citation Sovereign or Sovereign+. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the MS21233-3 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.
Because the Cessna Citation aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
A bearing or bushing sets how a shaft or pivot moves and wears; the right part keeps that motion as designed. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
The Cessna name is among the most recognized in aviation — founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and part of Textron since 1992, today a cornerstone of Textron Aviation. The Citation family is the best-selling line of business jets ever built, and more than 7,500 have been delivered worldwide.
