8271-147

WOODWARD 8271‑147 is an PG‑PL analog electronic speed governor from Woodward USA, a dedicated control unit for diesel engines, gas engines and small turbines. It provides stable closed‑loop speed and load regulation, supporting isochronous and droop control for single‑unit or parallel‑running generator sets. It is commonly matched with Woodward series actuators and magnetic speed sensors, widely used in power generation, marine, oil & gas, mining and industrial power units.
