HARTNELL GOVERNOR
Aim:
The unit has a unique facility of fixing optional Governor Mechanisms on spindle, by
removing the nut fitted on top of the spindle shaft. The Dimmerstat provided with this unit
achieves precise speed control.
A counter hole over the spindle shaft allows the use of a hand tachometer to measure the
speed of the shaft. (Tachometer is not in the scope of supply). A graduated scale is fixed to
the bracket and guided in vertical direction to measure the lift.

The center sleeve of the porter and proell Governors incorporates a weight sleeve to which
weights can be added. In the Hartnell Governor spring rate and initial compression level can
be varied. This enables the Hartnell Governor, to be operated as a stable or unstable
Governor.
Specifications:
1. Electric Motor : DC Motor, Capacity - ¼ hp, 1500rpm speed, Single Phase, 230 V AC.
3. Separate linkages with balls are provided for Watt & Porter type governor and proell
governor mechanism.
Procedure :-
The Governor mechanism as desired, to be tested is fitted with the chosen weights and
spring, where applicable, to the spindle shaft. Ensure that the nut & bolts of all the moving
parts and of the spindle shaft are properly tightened. Then following simple procedure is to
be followed.
Dimensions
a) Length - a = 0.077 m.

Formulae :-
follows:
r = ro + x (a/b) mtr.
N/60 rad/s
Spring force = in (N)
( Free Length of Spring Compressed Length of Spring ) x Spring Stiffness

Result:
As the speed increases the sleeve displacement also increases.
As the radius of rotation increases the force also increases.
Inference:
Speed is directly proportional to sleeve displacement and the force.
