Woodward hydraulic-mechanical and electronic governors provide reliable and precise control of engine speed and output in every type of engine application.

Features & Functionality

Hydraulic-mechanical and electronic governors from Woodward ensure exceptionally

reliable and precise control of engine speed and output in virtually every type of engine application.

Woodward governors are used in power generation, marine, pump, compression and vehicle applications, among others.

They are available in work output ratings ranging from 10.8 inch-pounds up to 500 foot-pounds.

Our SG and PSG governors are simple to operate and offer exceptional reliability.

Driven by a suitable SG/PSG/EG drive on the engine, these governors operate using the engine’s own oil supply at minimum pressures of 25 psi.
