8525-797  UG Universal Governors

Woodward’s UG “universal” governors are mechanical-hydraulic governors for controlling diesel, gas,

or dual fuel engines, or steam turbines. This proven design has been an industry standard for many years and

worldwide acceptance provides easy service in most engine and governor shops.

UG governors have their own self-contained oil supply and are driven by a suitable UG drive from an engine

or turbine. They operate either isochronously or in droop, and have a wide variety of optional features for use

in generator, pump, marine propulsion, and other applications. UG governors have a maximum drive speed of 1500 to 1600 rpm.

UG-8L

The UG-5.7/8/10 governor is a mechanical-hydraulic governor for controlling diesel, gas, or dual fuel

engines, or steam turbines. These governors (generally known as “UG-8”) are available in either a UG dial

or UG lever configuration. UG dial governors are particularly suited for constant speed applications. UG lever governors are widely used for variable speed control.

UG-40 governors are used for speed or load control of larger dual fuel, diesel, or gas engines or steam turbines, with

governor drive speeds of 350 to 1050 or 550 to 1300 rpm. Governors with lever speed setting are primarily used for

propulsion engines. Dial or motor speed setting is primarily used for power generation installations.
