8270-768

WOODWARD 8270‑768 is an EG‑A series analog electronic speed governor, manufactured by Woodward USA. It is designed for speed and load control of diesel engines, gas engines and small turbines. It performs closed‑loop speed regulation, supporting isochronous and droop control for single‑unit or parallel‑running generator sets. Normally matched with WOODWARD 8256‑021 rotary actuator, it is widely applied in power generation, marine, oil & gas, mining and industrial power units.
