Tempest AA1680-640-PMA
The Tempest AA1680-640 (Woodward OEM 1680-640) is an FAA-PMA overhaul sensor & o-ring kit.
- Helps maintain reliable governor-related sensing by replacing a wear-prone sensor component with the correct matched part number.
- Renews the O-ring seal to reduce seepage that can contaminate nearby components and degrade long-term reliability.
- Supports consistent operational checks and troubleshooting by returning the installation to a known-good baseline using OEM-referenced parts.
This kit is intended for aviation maintenance and governor overhaul shops where OEM part numbers drive search and cross-reference decisions.
Installation notes
Always refer to the applicable aircraft and governor maintenance manual for complete installation procedures.
- Follow approved maintenance data for removal and installation to avoid damage to sensor surfaces, wiring, and threaded bores.
- Lightly lubricate the new O-ring as specified by the manual and confirm it is seated correctly before final tightening.
- After installation, perform the required leak check and functional verification per the governor or synchronizer troubleshooting procedure.
Applications and fitment
This kit supports aviation line maintenance and overhaul workflows where the OEM 1680-640 is used to identify the correct sensor and seal components for Woodward governor configurations. Confirm compatibility by matching the OEM part number and reviewing approved fitment data for your governor model and serial number.
