Woodward 1418-808, Thrust Race Bearing - Tempest PMA
Tempest AG1418-808-PMA
The Tempest AG1418-808 (Woodward OEM 1418-808) is an FAA-PMA replacement thrust race bearing for Woodward applications.
- Provides a controlled wear surface for thrust bearing interfaces, helping protect more expensive governor components from fretting or galling.
- Supports stable RPM control by helping the governor’s rotating and load-bearing elements move smoothly under oil lubrication.
- Designed as a Tempest FAA-PMA governor replacement part for Woodward applications where OEM fit and function are required.
Thrust races are commonly replaced during governor overhaul when wear patterns, scoring, or surface distress is found on bearing surfaces. PJi® supports aviation maintenance professionals with the small but critical governor parts that keep constant speed propeller systems dependable.
Installation notes
Always consult the applicable maintenance manual for the full installation procedure before performing this work.
- Replace thrust races when there is visible scoring, spalling, brinelling, heat discoloration, or measurable out-of-tolerance wear per the governor overhaul manual.
- Cleanliness is critical. Prevent lint, grit, or metal debris from contacting bearing surfaces during assembly.
- Confirm correct mating bearing elements (balls, washers, or complementary races) and lubricate per the approved overhaul procedure.
Applications and fitment
For Woodward propeller governors. Eligibility references installations where Woodward model A210800 reciprocating engine speed governors are installed, including multiple Beechcraft Bonanza and Baron variants.
| Aircraft | Propeller Governor Model |
|---|---|
| Beechcraft Bonanza 95-C55 / 55A / D55 / E55 | Where Woodward A210800 reciprocating engine speed governors are installed |
| Beechcraft Baron 58 / 58A / 58P / 58TC | Where Woodward A210800 reciprocating engine speed governors are installed |
Confirm compatibility by matching OEM 1418-808 and verifying the thrust bearing stack-up in the governor parts catalog for your specific Woodward governor dash number.
Tempest AG1418-808 is the direct replacement for OEM 1418-808. Confirm the correct thrust race variant by governor model and parts list, since multiple 1418-xxx races exist for different configurations.
