I. Product Overview

WOODWARD 5437-484 is a dedicated integrated unit for steam turbines / gas turbines, belonging to the core executive component of Woodward 505 speed control system. It integrates high-precision valve position drive, precise flow regulation, signal feedback, and closed-loop control, receiving instructions from the 505 controller, precisely controlling the intake / intake steam opening, matching air-fuel ratio, and maintaining stable pressure under rotational speed closed-loop control. It is widely used in power steam turbines, gas turbines, internal combustion generator sets, and compressor intake regulation conditions.

The module integrates an integrated sensor + servo actuator, with fast response and high positioning accuracy, perfectly compatible with original Woodward speed control systems such as Netcon, MicroNet, and 505E, supporting electro-hydraulic conversion, closed-loop valve position following, and overspeed safety interlock protection.
