About the 8552-215
The 8552-215 Governor Control System device from the trusted Woodward manufacturer was originally, as mentioned above, made to exist as part of the PG-PL Series of governor products. This 8552-215 Governor Control System device actually specifically exists as a "Pressure Compensated" Governor, which means that it was likely designed for pipeline-based applications, as should have been indicated in the 8552-215 Governor Control System instructional manual made available here to the 8552-215 Governor Control System manuals tab above.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
As you can probably tell based off of the standard PG-PL governor qualities listed here, this 8552-215 Governor Control System device is not surrounded by all too many originally-developed instructional manual materials online, or at least materials telling of its greater PG-PL Governor Series from the highly-esteemed Woodward manufacturer. With this being the case, a diligent visual inspection of the 8552-215 Governor Control System device itself becomes of paramount importance, as conducted by one of our experienced and passionate lead service technicians in-house here. For starters, this 8552-215 Governor Motor is a unique Woodward Governor Motor product offering as its already-cumbersome design is further complicated through the attachment of a lengthy red rod on the very top of the 8552-215 product. Some of the other 8552-215 Governor device hardware details immediately obvious upon a thorough visual inspection would have to be described as its:
- Top-mounted gas or coolant cap
- Two metallic identification plaques
- Green matte metallic finish and protection
- Standard measurement dial for customization
This 8552-215 Governor device here is followed online by so many specific instructional manual materials that all point to this 8552-215 Governor Control System device's standard assembly version, given the fact that its greater PG-PL product series is a legacy Woodward product series whose manufacture was discontinued in the many years following its initial release. As a Pressure Compensated Governor, one of the primary standardized hardware traits that have been accepted by this 8558-573HK Governor Control System motor would have to be defined as an oil pump with a standard storage area for oil under pressure purposes. This Woodward quality oil system for the 8558-573HK Governor Control System product is typically accompanied by a relief valve that juts out of the side of this 8552-215 device's exterior chassis. It is this valve through which the maximum oil pressure of this PG-PL product can be lowered or stabilized. This 8558-573HK Governor Control System also makes use of other typical standardized PG-PL Control Series hardware components, such as its centrifugal flyweight head-pilot assembly, its governed systems compensation system, its power cylinder assembly or servomotor, and finally its speed setting mechanism for governor speed that is described as pneumatic by the original manufacturer.
