McCauley B-20847, Flyweight Pin Retainer Ring - Tempest PMA
Tempest AGB-20847-PMA
The Tempest AGB-20847 (McCauley OEM B-20847) is an FAA-PMA replacement flyweight pin retainer ring for McCauley applications.
- Provides positive retention for the flyweight pin, helping prevent pin walk-out that can cause loose motion, abnormal wear, or loss of proper flyweight alignment.
- Supports consistent speed sensing by keeping the flyweight pivot hardware secured under vibration and repeated operating cycles.
- Common overhaul replacement because retaining rings can lose tension, deform, or show wear marks from repeated disassembly.
Small retention parts like this directly support reliability in aviation governors, where even minor changes in linkage play can affect response and stability.
Installation notes
Always consult the applicable maintenance manual for the full installation procedure before performing this work.
- Replace the retainer if removed. Reuse can reduce retention strength and increase the risk of pin movement.
- Inspect the flyweight pin and mating grooves for wear that could prevent proper seating of the ring.
Applications and fitment
