Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the
following precautions to prevent damage to these parts:
 Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to
the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain
Electrostatic contact while handling the control).
Precautions  Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions)
around printed circuit boards.
 Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit
board with your hands or with conductive devices.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
 Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
 Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
 When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.

General Information
Introduction
This manual contains information about the Woodward Integral EG Actuator for
PG governors as an add-on unit:
 to form the PG-EG actuator (no ballhead) or
 to create a ballhead backup governor (PGA-EG or PGG-EG) from the PGA
or PGG governor.
In this manual, PG-EG refers to any of these three governor types.
This manual covers the EG, governor components affected by the EG, and
information pertaining to the PG-EG. For more general governor information,
refer to the PGA governor manual (36604) or the PGG governor manual (36627).
Description
The EG is an electro-hydraulically controlled actuator that accepts a (0 to 200)
mA signal, and outputs on a standard PG servo proportional to the mA signal.
Reverse or Direct Acting

The actuator is available for use with either direct- or reverse-acting electronic
controls. Direct-acting units assume an increasing fuel as the current level
increases. Reverse-acting units assume a decreasing fuel position as the current
level increases.
Reverse-acting EG actuators are normally used on ballhead governors to provide

an automatic ballhead back-up in case the electrical control signal is lost or
interrupted.
Direct-acting EG actuators will cause shutdown if the electrical current to the

actuator is lost or interrupted.
Direct-Acting Reverse-Acting
Fuel Rack Position (0.050 to 0.950) inches TR (0.050 to 0.950) inches TR
Control Current (20 to 160) mA (160 to 20) mA
Vibration Resistance
The EG actuator is in itself resistant against vibration due to the torque motor
beam being mass-stabilized in all three axes. As a consequence, vibrations have
minimal influence on the position of the beam.

Installation
Introduction
This chapter describes receiving, storage, and installation requirements for the
actuator.
Due to typical noise levels in turbine or engine environments,

hearing protection should be worn when working on or around the
actuator.
The surface of this product can become hot enough or cold enough
to be a hazard. Use protective gear for product handling in these
circumstances. Temperature ratings are included in the specification
section of this manual.
Use of a predicted minimum fuel shutdown procedure is highly

recommended. Failure to comply with this recommendation can
cause personal injury and/or property damage.
Use care while handling and installing the actuator. Be particularly

careful to avoid striking the drive shaft, terminal shaft, or the
electrical connector. Abuse can damage seals, internal parts, and
factory adjustments. Do not set the actuator on its drive shaft.
External fire protection is not provided in the scope of this product. It

is the responsibility of the user to satisfy any applicable
requirements for their system.
Initial Operation
Before initial operation of the engine equipped with this actuator, read
all of this installation chapter. Make sure that all installation steps have
been correctly accomplished and all linkages are secured and properly
attached. Carefully review the direction of rotation for the actuator oil
pump.
Receiving
Your PG governor is shipped from the factory bolted to a wooden platform in a
vertical position. After being tested at the factory, the governor is drained of oil.
This leaves a light film of oil covering the internal parts, preventing rust. No
internal cleaning is required.
Use care in handling the governor. Be particularly careful to avoid

striking the drive shaft. Do not drop or rest the governor on its drive
shaft. Such treatment could damage the gears and bearings in the
governor oil pump.
Woodward 7
Most PG governors lift from an eye-bolt threaded into a 0.375-16 (inch) hole in
the center of the cover. PG-200, PG-300, and PG-500 governors must be lifted
with a sling. Some PG governors have split covers which need to be lifted with a
sling as well.
Storage
The governor may be stored for up to a year as received from the factory. Store
the governor in a vertical position. Fill completely with oil if extended storage is
necessary.
Mounting Requirements
A gasket must be used between the governor and the accessory mounting pad.
A 0.81 mm (0.032 inch) thick gasket is recommended for this purpose. The
gasket is used to absorb imperfections between the governor base and the
mounting pad, and to avoid oil leakage between the governor and the drive
portion of the engine.
Install the governor square on the accessory pad, using the correct length of
coupling between the governor and the drive. Make sure the driveshaft does not
bind, and that there is no excessive side load on the driveshaft assembly. Make
sure the coupling is tight, and do not use force when installing the drive shaft into
the coupling. The governor must be installed in a vertical position.
A rough or non-concentric drive can prevent smooth governor operation and

shorten governor life. The drive should be as smooth as possible. Poor drive
dynamics can damage governor seals and bearings.
Rotation direction is factory set for some governors. Damage will

result if the governor is installed on a drive which rotates in the
wrong direction. Specifications for individual governors indicate if
the unit has been plugged to limit rotation to one direction only.
Many PG governors are equipped with check valves in the pump,
allowing rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
Linkage
Align the linkage from the governor to the fuel pumps or valves to eliminate
binding and excessive backlash. The relationship of governor/terminal shaft
angular position to the fuel control position must be adjusted in accordance with
the engine manufacturer's specifications. The linkage must not limit the
governor's ability to call for maximum fuel or to shut down the engine.
Linkage must not give during major transients and must not be so heavy that it
hinders accurate governor response. Linkage must be designed to resist wear.
Linkage is responsible for many apparent “governor problems”, and proper

design and installation of the linkage between the governor output and the
engine is extremely important.
8 Woodward
The fuel-control linkage must be adjusted so at least 15 % of the governor travel
(output) from minimum position has been used when the fuel control is at idle no-
load (A and D; see Figure 2-1). This minimum setting is required due to the
location of the compensation cut-off port (if so equipped).
Use as much of the governor output travel as possible. Stability is greatly

improved with the use of maximum governor travel. Design linkage so governor
output and resultant power output of the engine are nearly linear.
Figure 2-1. Governor Travel
Electrical and Hydraulic Connections

Make the pneumatic (if applicable), hydraulic, and electrical connections required
for the particular governor. Refer to Figures 1-1 through 1-3 for the PG-EG 58
governor and Figures 1-4 and 1-5 for the PG-EG 200 governor.
Most governors are equipped with an oil spray to reduce or prevent vibration-
induced damage to the torque-motor assembly.
All governors have hydraulic connections for a booster. For information regarding
selecting the correct booster type, refer to Manual 36684.
When connecting a start booster to the governor, at least two lines are required:
 Oil to booster inlet, which takes oil from the governor sump to the
booster inlet
 Oil from booster outlet #1, which takes oil from the booster outlet #1 to
the accumulator system of the governor. By supplying oil under pressure
during starting from the booster into the accumulator, the governor
should distribute the oil internally without any delay.
In most cases there should be no need to connect other lines between the
booster and the actuator or governor.
On a PG-EG 58 actuator no other connections are possible. On the PG-EG 200

actuator and PGA-EG/PGG-EG 200 governors, it is possible to connect a second
Woodward 9
line (oil from booster outlet #3) to the first stage relay piston to assist opening up
the output servo of the governor.
On PGA-EG/PGG-EG 58 governors and PGA-EG/PGG-EG 200 governors, there

is also an option to connect a line (oil from booster outlet #2) to the speed setting
servo. Again, under most conditions, the speed setting will be receiving oil under
pressure directly from the accumulators. Under some conditions a better starting
performance may be obtained by connecting this line.

All governors have hydraulic connections for a heat exchanger which allows oil to
be circulated to an external cooler to ensure that the governor oil temperature
remains between 71 °C and 93 °C (160 °F and 200 °F) under all operating
conditions. In case a heat exchanger is used on a governor also equipped with
an oil spray, extra attention is required. Since the spray tube is located at the
same height as the oil-to-cooler connection on the governor’s power case, these
two connections are hydraulically linked. This means that the oil spray will no
longer function when combined with a cooler, since the oil will follow the path
with the least resistance. In order to prevent this, we recommend adding an
orifice to the oil-to-cooler line exactly where it leaves the power case to ensure
enough flow of oil is going to the oil spray.
Standard electrical connections are made to the four-pin connector on the side of
the column (see figures). Optionally, the EG actuator may be wired to the
connector on the receiver bracket through an internal mounting bracket.
Instead of a connector, the governor may be equipped with a flying lead, leaving
the governor on the side of the column. This option is used mostly on governors
in a high-vibration environment.
Clearances
Leave adequate clearance to connect the linkage, to fill the governor with oil, and
to remove the cover (if necessary).
10 Woodward
Governor Oil
Governor oil must have lubricating and hydraulic properties. The oil must have a
viscosity index that allows it to perform over the operating temperature range of
the governor. The oil must have additives that allow it to remain stable and
predictable over the operating temperature range of the governor. The oil used in
the governor must be compatible with the nitrile, polyacrylic, and fluorocarbon
seals used in the governor.
Many oils and synthetic lubricating fluids used in the engines controlled by PG
governors meet these specifications. When possible use the same grade and
weight of oil used in the engine. Information in this manual is intended to be used
only in the selection of the governor lubricating oil, not for selecting engine lube
oil. USE ONLY NEW, CLEAN OIL. DO NOT USE USED ENGINE OIL IN THE
GOVERNOR.
Woodward governors and actuators are designed to give stable operation with
oils which provide 50 to 3000 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds) of viscosity
throughout the operating temperature range. Ideally the viscosity at the normal
operating temperature should be between 100 and 300 SUS. Poor governor
response or instability is often an indication that the oil being used is too thick or
too thin.
For more detailed information on the choice of governor oil, refer to manual
25071, Oils for Hydraulic Controls.
The recommended oil temperature for continuous governor operation is

(60 to 93) °C / (140 to 200) °F. Measure the oil temperature of the governor or
actuator on the outside lower part of the power case. The actual oil temperature
will be about 6 °C (10 °F) higher. The governor is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures of (29 to 93) °C / (20 to 200) °F.
Oil Problems
A filter is located between the oil pump and the control pilot valve of the EG
actuator. Should this filter become clogged, it can seriously hinder the ability of
the actuator to control, even on the mechanical ballhead side. Take extra care
with the PG to be sure that oil is clean and that it does not deteriorate due to
heat.
Excessive component wear or seizure in a governor indicates the possibility of

insufficient lubrication caused by:
 An oil that flows slowly when it's cold or at start-up;
 High or low governor oil level;
 Restrictions in oil lines to boosters or heat exchangers;
 Contaminated oil (usually caused by dirty oil containers used when
transferring oil to the governor);
 A governor exposed to heating and cooling cycles, creating condensation of
water in the oil;
 Oil not suitable for the operating conditions.
Operating a governor continuously beyond the high-limit temperature of the oil

will result in oil oxidation. This is identified by varnish or sludge deposits on
governor parts. To reduce oil oxidation, lower the oil operating temperature with a
heat exchanger or other means, or change to an oil more oxidation resistant at
the operating temperature.
Woodward 11
PG-governors operating with internal oil-pressures in excess of 1655 kPa
(240 psi) often require a heat exchanger to protect the oil from damage.
Many governor problems are the result of improper selection or

improper maintenance of governor oil. The governor should be
serviced on a routine schedule. Develop the schedule with
consideration to the governor operating temperature and the
cleanliness of the atmosphere in which the governor operates.
A loss of stable governor control and possible engine overspeed

may result if oil viscosity exceeds the 50 to 3000 SUS range.
Governor Oil Service

Replace the governor oil if it is contaminated or if it is suspected of causing
governor problems. Drain the oil while it is still hot and agitated. Flush the
governor with kerosene or an equivalent solvent. If drain time is insufficient for
the solvent to completely drain or evaporate, flush with the same grade and
weight of oil which will be used to refill the governor. Discard the oil used to flush
out the solvent.
To avoid contamination of the governor, the replacement oil must be free of dirt,
water, or other foreign material. Use clean containers to store and transfer oil.
Refer persistent or recurring oil problems to an oil specialist.
After the oil is selected, fill the governor with new, clean oil, in the volumes listed
here: Type 12/29/58 (1.4 L / 1.5 qt), Type 200/300 (6.2 L / 6.5 qt), Type 500
(6.6 L / 7.0 qt).
While the engine is not running, fill the governor to the maximum level indication.
During normal operation, this level should not drop below the minimum level. Do
not add oil when operating the governor.
PG-EG 200, 300, and 500 cases must be filled in two stages. Fill with about
4 liters/quarts before starting, then add the amount needed to bring the oil up to
operating levels after start-up. On these governors, there is an oil level dipstick
inside the fill port cap. On newer types, a small sight gauge glass has been
added onto the terminal shaft housing. Always use the dipstick for accurate oil
level readings. All other PG-EGs have an oil filler cup in the cover and a special
long oil gauge glass on the power case.
To prevent contamination of the flapper nozzle system, an oil filter has been fitted
to the oil feed line going to the EG actuator. Check this filter every time the oil is
changed, and clean if necessary.
12 Woodward
Figure 3-1. Schematic of Pilot Valve and Pressure Regulator Section
Cleaning the PG-EG Actuator Oil Filter

Clean the filter after it has been dis-assembled from the manifold block on the
side of the actuator.
Use white spirit or another oil-based cleaning fluid to wash backward, against the
normal flow direction onto a filter cloth or similar. Do not use sharp tools to probe
into the filter. Debris content should come out leading a flow of cleaning fluid thru
the filter. Use a soft brush to help the particles get loose from the mesh surface.
Inspect the content of the filter. Normal wear of the PG-EG actuator should
produce very few particles, so if you find a lot of debris you should investigate its
origin. Make sure the cans used to add oil are clean (no dust, no water, no other
oil remains).
If a filter is very dirty and cannot be cleaned it should be replaced by a new filter:
Woodward number 3005-533.
If, over time, filters continue to be very dirty, consider reducing the time between
cleaning. Clogged filter can seriously reduce the flow of oil to the EG-actuator,
thus making it very difficult to maintain its dynamic behavior.
Woodward 13
Chapter 3.
Principles of Operation
Flapper Nozzle System

The flapper nozzle system is basically a hydraulic amplifier which converts the
torque motor beam position through the pilot valve into a servo position. Pump
pressure oil is supplied to the interior of the pilot valve and lowered by the
pressure regulating valve into the regulated pressure at 690 kPa (100 psi). This
flow of 690 kPa oil is then directed onto the bottom of the control land and
through a dropping orifice (giving the pilot valve control pressure) to the top of the
same control land but with a larger surface. At the same time, pilot valve control
pressure oil is directed through a nozzle and sprays onto the bottom of the torque
motor beam (acting as the flapper).
The balance of these hydraulic pressures and forces positions the pilot valve in
the bushing and causes the pilot valve to follow the position of the torque motor
beam. To center the pilot valve in the bushing in steady state, the gap between
the flapper (the torque motor beam) and the nozzle is adjustable by means of the
center adjustment.
The control land of the pilot valve, balanced between the regulated pressure
below and the pilot valve control pressure above, provides a hydraulic
amplification of the position of the torque-motor beam. This permits accurate
positioning of the plunger in the bushing without having the bushing rotate to
eliminate static friction as is necessary in the mechanical pilot valve system.
Torque-motor System
The torque-motor system consists of an electromagnetic coil and a beam. On top
of the beam, an armature is mounted which is placed into the electromagnetic
field of the coil. The beam itself is suspended by a torsion spring, allowing a
small degree of rotation of the beam around the center of the torsion spring but
no translations.
The torque-motor beam is balanced between the restoring spring, the level-
adjust spring, and the torque from the torque-motor. With the system in steady
state, the pilot valve of the flapper nozzle system is centered and the servo is
stationary.
By changing the current to the coil, the amount of torque on the armature
changes, and thus the torque on the torque-motor beam. This will change the
gap between the beam and the pilot valve, cause the pilot valve to follow the
movement of the beam, and allow oil to flow to or from the servo. The resultant
change in servo position causes the restoring lever to load or unload the
restoring spring, and thus restores the equilibrium of the torque-motor beam at
the new current level. The torque motor beam resumes its original position, and
the gap between the beam and the pilot valve will be restored to its original size
with the pilot valve centered.
14 Woodward
Direct and Reverse Acting

The same set of springs may be set for either a direct- or reverse-acting actuator.
The only difference is the level to which the level-adjust spring is set, and the
wires to the torque-motor which are reversed.

Operation and Adjustments
Introduction
Because the PGA-EG and PGG-EG are each a combination of an electric
actuator and a ballhead governor, routine start-up adjustments can be more
complex than on other governors.
When installing or adjusting a PGA-EG/PGG-EG which has been taken off an

engine or has been repaired, make sure to understand if the governor is running
under control of the electronics or on the ballhead. Be sure of electronic control
when setting the dynamics of the electronic control system.
Centering Adjustment
The torque-motor/pilot valve relationship in the electric actuator is

calibrated at the factory and should not need readjustment unless
the torque motor, the pilot valve plunger, or the pilot valve bushing is
replaced. The adjustment is extremely sensitive and will change all
other adjustments.
DO NOT TOUCH any of the calibration adjustments unless

thoroughly familiar with the electrical portions of the control.
Complete calibration of the actuator should not be attempted on the
engine as overspeeding or other dangers may occur during the
calibration process.
It is absolutely vital that the armature/torque motor beam combination is correctly

centered between the magnets of the torque motor. If the tools to assist this
action are not available, do not attempt to do this.
If a torque motor has been disassembled, it may be necessary to re-magnetize

the magnets to ensure the torque motor will have enough power to allow all
settings to be made. Since measuring the amount of magnetism present is very
difficult, do not disassemble the magnet unless you are able to re-magnetize it
afterwards.
Use of the proper tools for the centering adjustment is essential to

proper control operation. These tools are available only in specially-
equipped workshops.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE any part of the torque motor outside a

Woodward plant.
Woodward 19
Adjustment of the Anti-rotation Device

On the PG-EG actuator with no ballhead, to prevent the feedback lever between
the tailrod and the actuator from becoming dislodged by vibration, an anti-rotation
device has been added. It consists of a steel plate mounted on the cover of the
torque motor which guides a pin protruding from the tailrod. Because of the
tolerance of the slot in which the pin moves up and down, and the thickness of
the plate, it is important that pin and plate are perpendicular to each other. To
adjust this, the mounting screws of the plate run through two slots, allowing the
plate to be positioned correctly.
If the guiding plate has been removed, assemble as follows.
1. Install the guiding plate and mount the screws by hand. Do not tighten the
screws but allow small adjustments.
2. First check visually if the plate is set perpendicular to the pin. Adjust this by
moving the plate in its slots until it is.
3. Now run the tailrod up and down. This will set the plate in the correct
position and ensure the slot and the tailrod are exactly parallel. Now tighten
the screws to a torque of (0.7 to 0.8) N·m / (6 to 7) lb-in.
Mode Select Valve and Mode Indicating Switch

Mode Indicating Pressure Switch
To show the mode the governor is working in, a mode indicating pressure switch
is available.
Two switches are available:

 one for use with (690 to 896) kPa / (100 to 130) psi pump pressure
governors, with a switch point of 586 kPa / 85 psi;
 one for use with 1379 kPa / 200 psi pump pressure governors, with a switch
point of 1276 kPa / 185 psi.
The switch is mounted in one of two locations, depending on whether or not the
governor is equipped with a mode select valve.
No Mode Select Block

When the governor is not equipped with a mode select block, use the switch
mounting position available on the mode select block. For both 690 kPa / 100 psi
and 1379 kPa / 200 psi pump pressures, the resultant signals are:
 pins A-C closed = pins A-B open = EG-mode;
 pins A-B closed = pins A-C open = PG-mode.

Mode Select Block

When the governor is equipped with a mode select block, use only the position
available on the mode select block. Do not use the switch mounting position on
the connecting block in this case. For both 690 kPa / 100 psi and 1379 kPa /
200 psi pump pressures, the resultant signals are:
 pins A-C closed = pins A-B open = EG-mode;
 pins A-B closed = pins A-C open = PG-mode.
Woodward 23
Mode Select Valve

A mode select valve allows the operator to choose and influence the mode the
governor is controlling in. This can be done by means of either a manual,
electrical, or pneumatic signal to the mode select valve.
The valve has two modes:

 Mechanical Control (or PG mode): The oil from the accumulator is routed
through the mode select valve to the ballhead pilot valve/compensation
system and into the servo.
 Electrical Control (or EG mode): The oil from the accumulator is routed
through the mode select valve to the actuator pilot valve, back to the mode
select valve, and through the ballhead pilot valve/compensation system into
the servo.
In electrical mode, the actuator pilot valve and the ballhead pilot
valve are placed in series. In order for the governor to operate in this
mode, it is necessary to raise the mechanical speed setting over the
electrical speed setting, since this offset will open the ballhead pilot
valve and keep it “out of the way.” This speed difference should
amount to 5 % to 10 % of the maximum speed.
Under EG mode, the ballhead will still control if the PG speed setting
is lower than the EG.
The mode select valve consists of a pilot valve located in a block which is
mounted onto the side of the governor power case. Internal governor hydraulics
are routed through the block. When the pilot valve is driven against a return
spring, the valve will switch. When the driving force is removed, the spring
returns the pilot valve and the valve switches back. Two pilot valves are
available: a direct-acting one and a reverse-acting one.
Five different methods are available to drive the mode select valve:
Manual—Turning a knob clockwise directs pressure oil against the end of the
valve plunger and forces the plunger against the return spring to switch into PG
mode. Turning the manual knob counterclockwise connects the operating end of
the mode select valve plunger to drain, allowing the return spring to move the
plunger and switch to EG mode.
Direct Electrical—A 24 V (dc) signal moves a solenoid valve to direct pressure

oil against the end of the direct-acting valve plunger and forces it against the
return spring to switch into PG mode. Removal of the electrical signal connects
the operating end of the valve plunger to drain, allowing the return spring to move
the plunger and switch to EG mode.
Reverse Electrical—A 24 V (dc) signal moves a solenoid valve to direct

pressure oil against the end of the reverse-acting valve plunger and forces it
against the return spring to switch into EG mode. Loss or removal of the signal
connects the operating end of the valve plunger to drain, allowing the return
spring to move the plunger and switch to PG mode.
24 Woodward
Direct Pneumatic—Air pressure drives a plunger which shuttles the direct-acting
mode select valve plunger against the return spring to switch into PG mode.
Removal or loss of air pressure will cause the return spring to move the plunger
back and switch to EG mode.
Reverse Pneumatic—Air pressure drives a plunger which shuttles the reverse-

acting mode select valve plunger against the return spring to switch into EG
mode. Removal or loss of air pressure will cause the return spring to move the
plunger back and switch to PG mode.
Maintenance
The mode select valve should require minimal or no maintenance. O-rings should
be replaced to eliminate possible oil leaks. The pneumatic, electric, or manual
actuator which sets the position of the pilot valve may be removed from the
housing for cleaning or repair.
Do not attempt to disassemble any portion of the mode select valve

with the governor running. Pressure oil circulates in all parts of the
valve, and the governor will quit operating, and oil will be pumped
out of the governor should any part of the valve be loosened or
removed while the governor is running.
Applications
The ballhead governor and the electric-input actuator operate continually, with
each having its own desired fuel-output position. PGA-EG hydraulics select the
lesser of the two fuel outputs for the actual fuel output.
Setting up for reverse-acting means that the electronics in the control are
programmed for reverse-acting; the actuator must be calibrated to accept this
reverse signal. Loss of electrical signal to the actuator causes the actuator to call
for increased fuel, moving the output to increase until the ballhead takes over
control (remember that for correct actuator use, the mechanical speed setting
must be raised by 5 % to 10 %). This means that the reverse-acting setup of
control and governor results in automatic switching from electrical control to
ballhead control should electronic failure occur, although at a higher speed.
When control and actuator are set up for direct-acting, loss of electronic signal to
the actuator means that the actuator goes to minimum fuel. Since the ballhead is
set to a speed 5 % to 10 % above the electronic maximum speed, it cannot take
over control.
