The Woodward EGB-10P, -13P, and -35P governor/actuators combine electronic actuator control with mechanical ballhead backup governing for dual fuel, diesel, and gasoline engines and gas/steam turbines. Available with 14, 18, or 47 N·m (10, 13, or 35 lb-ft) work capacity, the EGB features a self-contained hydraulic oil supply and automatic fallback to mechanical speed control on electronic signal loss.
Key Features
Electronic Control
- Accepts 20–160 mA proportional signal from analog or digital controls
- Work capacities: 14 N·m (10 lb-ft), 18 N·m (13 lb-ft), or 47 N·m (35 lb-ft)
- Speed and droop adjustments via electronics
- Isochronous load sharing between engines
- Positions fuel racks or linkage
Mechanical Backup
- Centrifugal ballhead backup governor
- Automatic fallback on electronic signal loss — prevents shutdown or gross overspeed
- Configurable: shutdown (standard) or maximum fuel (reverse action) on signal loss
- Ballhead operates isochronous or with droop
- Load-limit control knob for maximum output position
- Self-contained hydraulic oil supply
- Easy maintenance in any installation environment
Applications
- Dual fuel, diesel, and gasoline engines
- Gas and steam turbines driving electrical or mechanical loads
- Applications requiring electronic control with mechanical backup
- Parallel operation with utility bus or dissimilar governors
- Critical applications where uninterrupted speed control is essential
