PG Dial and Lever Governors

Applications
Woodward PG Dial and Lever governors control the
speed of diesel, gas, and dual-fuel engines in a
variety of fields. Their applications include engines
driving pumps, compressors, alternators, variable  Lever or dial

 Preloaded buffer springs for smoother control of two-cycle spark-ignition
engines.
 Remotely mounted servomotor to simplify connection to fuel control.
 Servomotors with 16, 23, 33, 39, and 79 Nm (12, 17, 24, 29, and 58 lb-ft) (2/3
usable) are available in linear and rotary outputs.
 Overspeed test device to override governor speed setting. This permits testing of
the engine overspeed trip by allowing the engine to run above rated speed.

Specifications
Construction
Weight Approximately 36 kg (80 lb)
Case and Pump Housing Cast iron
Internal Parts Aluminum, mild or case-hardened steel, and stainless steel
Dial Speed Setting Cover Cast aluminum
Lever Speed Setting Cover Sand cast aluminum
Mounting
Configuration Vertical
Base The round base and serrated shaft shown in dimension drawings are
standard. Other bases, such as ones having UG-8 or UG-40 mounting
dimensions and drive shaft, are available.
Drive Shaft Either serrated or with keyway and key to carry a gear
Power Requirement Drive power for different types of PG governors will vary depending upon
speed, internal pump pressure, pump volumetric displacement, pump
efficiency, and oil viscosity. Contact Woodard if further information is
required.
Output
Fuel Control Piston type with a 25 mm (1-inch) travel is standard. Two-thirds of the travel
should be used between no load and full load with some overtravel at each
end of the stroke; linkage should permit complete shutdown.
Control Characteristics
Speed Range The common speed range is 150–1000 rpm with 800–1000 rpm being the
recommended range for constant speed service. A wide speed range of
200–1600 rpm is available.
Operating Temperature Continuous operating temperature is 60 to 93 °C (140 to 200 °F). [Contact
Woodward Industrial Controls when working beyond these limits; the
hydraulic fluid pour point must be below the lowest expected starting
temperature.]
Work Capacity 16 Nm (12 lb-ft) is standard. A maximum of 11 Nm (8 lb-ft) may be used to
move the fuel control linkage over the full range of governor travel.
Hydraulic System
Oil SAE 10–50 oil depending on governor operating temperature
Self-contained Sump Approximately 1.4 L (1.5 qt)
Viscosity Should be 100–200 SUS under normal operating conditions
Speeds in excess of 1000 rpm are available but require single-direction

rotation. Oil coolers may also be required. Please consult Woodward
Industrial Controls.
