UG-8 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.
