The Woodward UG-8 is a renowned, durable mechanical-hydraulic governor designed for precise speed control and regulation of diesel engines, gas engines, and small steam turbines. It is a self-contained unit known for its reliability in industrial and marine applications.
The Woodward UG-8 is a classic mechanical-hydraulic governor that has been a industry standard for decades. It operates using a combination of flyweights, springs, and hydraulic pressure to sense engine speed and adjust the fuel rack or throttle valve to maintain a set speed, regardless of load changes. The UG-8 is characterized by its robust cast iron construction, simple design, and ease of maintenance. It is commonly found governing prime movers in power generation, pumping, and marine propulsion applications. The model may include suffixes to denote specific configurations (e.g., UG-8L, UG-8D), but "UG-8" identifies the core product family.
