PSG GOVERNOR
DESCRIPTION:
The PSG Governor provides hydraulic powered travel in the
increase-fuel direction only. A return spring is used to provide travel in the decrease-fuel direction.
The Standard PSG cover provides for a vertical return spring in the Governor. Governors models are
available with horizontal return springs, or the Governor can be fitted with a customer supplied
external return spring.
Spring-driven and oil damped billheads are available to filter out
tensional vibrations. A special temperature-compensated needle valve can be supplied to compensate for
temperature effect on stability.
Droop
Droop may be set in some governors
with a permanent moment of an adjustment inside the cover. Others governors are equipped with externally
adjustable droop. External adjustment is available on either side of the case. Droop is adjustable from
0 to about 7 percent in all governors.
Speed setting
Electric speed
–adjusting motors or pneumatic speed-setting is available for certain remote speed-setting applications.
In most cases the speed-setting shaft does not extend from the case when other types of remote speed
setting are used.
