Overview – AIR COMPRESSOR GOVERNOR 163142 Series
Built to Cummins specifications, the AIR COMPRESSOR GOVERNOR 163142 serves Cummins air-supply positions; the cross-referenced series below covers the most common substitutions.
Parts Characteristics
A air compressor governor that limits compressor speed so the air system stays at pressure without over-driving in the air supply, so the compressor drive stays capped and steady. It carries the service life the air supply depends on, so a true, correctly specified unit keeps the stick and overrun from the compressor overspeeds and the air system floods.
Applicable Models & Applications
Used at Cummins Hydraulic Parts positions specifying this AIR COMPRESSOR GOVERNOR. Match the bore, port and seal face against your old unit – Hydraulic Parts parts differ in how they seat and bolt.
Maintenance & Replacement
Inspect for wear and a loose fit at every service. A air compressor governor that has begun to fail lets the compressor drive drift, and the drift is what causes the stick and overrun.
Confirm the air compressor governor seats and the fixings hold on fit. A unit canted in its bolts lets the compressor drive move, and the move is where it fails.
Replace rather than repair a failed one where the part allows. A air compressor governor reused past its life returns the same fault, and the fault is what stops the machine.
Keep the correct air compressor governor for your hydraulic parts on the bench. It is cheaper than the downstream failure, and it is exactly the part missing when a service needs doing today.
