McCauley A-20610, Ball Bearing Assembly - Tempest PMA
Tempest AGA-20610-PMA
The Tempest AGA-20610 (McCauley OEM A-20610) is an FAA-PMA replacement ball bearing assembly for McCauley applications.
- Supports efficient governor operation by reducing rotational friction where a bearing-supported component is required.
- Helps maintain accurate internal alignment, which supports stable governor response and reduces abnormal wear patterns.
- Common overhaul replacement when inspection finds roughness, corrosion, looseness, contamination, or heat-related discoloration.
Bearings are wear-critical parts in aircraft governor assemblies because contamination, moisture, and service cycles can degrade performance long before a failure is obvious.
Installation notes
Always refer to the approved maintenance and overhaul manual for full installation guidance before starting work.
- Keep bearings sealed and clean until installation. Avoid introducing lint, grit, or solvent residue.
- Use approved installation methods to prevent brinelling or race damage, and verify smooth rotation after assembly.
Applications and fitment
Used on McCauley governors where OEM A-20610 is specified. Confirm compatibility by matching the OEM part number and verifying governor model and serial number applicability in approved maintenance data.
Tempest AGA-20610 is the direct replacement for OEM A-20610. Match the OEM part number and confirm applicability by governor model and serial number in the approved maintenance data.
