    UG Governor 
    UG‐5.7, UG‐8, and UG‐10 Dial and Lever 

    Applications 
    The UG Governor is a mechanical-
    hydraulic governor for controlling diesel,
    gas, or dual fuel engines, or steam
    turbines.
    UG-Dial governors are particularly suited
    for constant speed applications. Knob
    speed settings make synchronization easy
    for generator applications. Motor speed
    setting is available for remote  Isochronous or
    synchronization. Adjustable droop makes droop control
    load sharing between engines precise.
     Dashpot/needle
    UG Lever governors are widely used for variable speed valve
    control. Remote speed setting can be either mechanical
    through the speed setting lever or pneumatic with a special compensation
    speed setting device. Special attachments are available for  Lever, dial, motor,
    other applications.
    or pneumatic
    The UG pump is designed for applications which reverse speed settings
    engine rotation.
    The governor provides extremely reliable speed control
     Damped ballhead
    throughout the drive speed and temperature range.  Self contained oil
    This proven design has been industry standard for many sump
    years. World-wide acceptance provides easy service in most
    engine and governor shops.

    Description 
    UG Governors (generally known as the “UG-8”) are available in either a UG Dial or
    UG Lever configuration. Each model is available with any of three different work
    outputs: 7.1, 13.2, and 15.9 Nm (5.2, 9.7, and 11.7 lb-ft).
    The UG-5.7 and UG-8 use 827 kPa (120 psi) operating pressure. The UG-5.7 unit
    has a reduced area servo piston which produces a quicker response to load
    changes and reduces overshoots at start up and on major load changes.
    The UG-10 uses a 1034 kPa (150 psi) internal operating pressure to produce the
    higher work output.
    Dashpot pressure compensation provides governor stability and allows the UG
    governor to operate in isochronous rather than droop. Droop is available to permit
    load sharing. A needle valve provides optimum adjustment that exactly matches the
    governor with a particular engine's dynamics.
    The UG governor has an internal oil pump driven from the governor's drive shaft. An
    arrangement of check valves permits the governor to operate in either direction. Oil
    pressure is maintained by a relief valve-accumulator system with a drain to an
    internal oil sump.

    Specifications 
    Governor Drive Standard drive is 5/8-36 (inch) serrated
    Drive shafts are available with 0.187 inch-wide keyways and threaded
    castle nut to carry gear
    Drive Speeds and Requirements Maximum speed range of 375 to 1500 rpm
    Recommended constant speed operating range of 1000 to 1500 rpm
    Requires 249 W (1/3 hp) at normal speed and operating temperature
    Rotation clockwise or counterclockwise
    Work Output 7.1 Nm (5.2 lb-ft) for the UG-5.7
    13.2 Nm (9.7 lb-ft) for the UG-8
    15.9 Nm (11.7 lb-ft) for the UG-10

    Terminal Shaft 12.70 mm (0.500 inch) diameter, SAE-36 serrations. May extend from
    either or both sides of the governor
    Shafts designed for specific applications are available
    Linkage The relationship between engine torque output and governor terminal
    shaft travel should be linear (very important for gas or dual fuel
    engines)
    Steady State Speed Band ±0.25% of rated speed
    Variable Speed Range 375 to 1500 rpm
    Droop Adjustable on the dial governor from 0 to 12.5% at 1500 rpm and from 0
    to 19% at 1000 rpm
    Adjustable on the lever governor from 0 to 26.5% at 1500 rpm and from
    0 to 40% at 1000 rpm
    All droop figures are based on 42° of terminal shaft travel. If less than
    full shaft travel is utilized, available droop will be decreased by the
    same percentage as is output shaft travel.
    Ballhead/Drive Configuration A spring-driven, oil-damped ballhead and flexible drive is often used to
    dampen the high-frequency, low-amplitude torsional vibration which
    may be present in the drive to the governor
    Ballheads are also available in undamped natural frequencies of: none,
    50, 70, 100, or 150 cpm
    Operating Temperature Gas-fueled engines, particularly those used on gas pipelines, often have
    not operated at optimum efficiency because automated controls to
    maintain that peak condition have not been readily available
    Pilot Valve Plunger Movement Balanced between ballhead centrifugal force and speeder spring force
    Pilot Valve Bushing Rotated as an integral part of governor drive shaft
    Pilot Valve Porting A selection of chopper, 2 slotted or 8 round. Chopper gives slow
    response in acceleration
