Description
The MS24461-5 is a genuine Textron Aviation bearing that supports rotational or pivoting motion within a mechanism. It is fitted to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.05 lbs, and measures 0.82 (L) x 0.82 (W) x 0.44 (H) in.
Because the MS24461-5 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 Caravan fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Bearings and bushings are specified for their load, fit, and motion, so the correct part preserves smooth, reliable operation and expected wear life. 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.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring.
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. Cessna's single-engine Caravan turboprop, in production since 1984, is one of the most widely used utility aircraft in the world.
