Woodward 8237-1600 Speed ​​Regulator Actuator

Woodward 8237-1600 Speed ​​Regulator Actuator

The Woodward 8237-1600 is a high-precision electro-hydraulic actuator designed for critical turbine control applications, offering ±0.05% positioning accuracy and MIL-spec ruggedness.

1. Basic Product Type: Governor Actuator/Hydraulic Actuator

Core Function: This component receives electrical signals from the engine or turbine governor control unit (such as Woodward’s EGB, ProAct, and other digital controllers) and converts them into precise mechanical displacement or hydraulic pressure, which actuates the fuel rail or intake valve, ultimately controlling the engine’s speed and power output.

Simply put, it is the final actuator that controls the engine’s “throttle,” ensuring stable and efficient engine operation under varying loads.

2. Typical Applications

This actuator type is typically used in medium- to large-scale power equipment requiring precise speed control, such as:

Diesel/gas engines for power generation

Marine propulsion engines

Oil and gas field compressor and pump drives

Cogeneration systems

3. Key Technical Features

High Accuracy and Response Speed: Designed to respond quickly and accurately to changes in control signals, maintaining constant speed even during sudden load changes.

High Reliability: Woodward products are renowned for their durability and long life in harsh industrial environments.

Integrated Design: Typically integrates seamlessly with Woodward speed controllers to form a complete speed control system.

Possible Technology Type: Can be either electro-hydraulic or electric, depending on the system being used. The 8237 Series is typically used as a high-performance hydraulic actuator.

4. Appearance and Interfaces

Housing: Typically a rugged metal housing that protects the delicate solenoid valves and mechanical components within.

Electrical Connector: A multi-pin electrical connector used to connect control cables, receive control signals, and provide power.

Hydraulic Interface: This connector contains the hydraulic oil inlet and return ports.

Output Rod: A mechanical output rod connected to the engine’s fuel pump or throttle valve via a connecting rod.
