8271-872

WOODWARD 8271‑872 is a PG‑PL series analog electronic speed governor manufactured by Woodward, USA. It is used for precise speed and load control of diesel engines, gas engines and small turbines. Adopting closed‑loop speed regulation, it supports isochronous and droop control modes for single‑unit or parallel‑running generator sets. Commonly paired with Woodward 8256‑021 rotary actuator, it is widely applied in power generation, marine, oil & gas, mining and industrial power units.
