Sum up
The 8256-016 is an actuator in the Woodward Electric Governor (EPG) series. The unit is designed to be used in combination with a magnetic pickup unit and a speed control unit to form a complete EPG. The 8256-016 is the 24V model actuator in this series. The full EPG is designed to control the speed of petrol, petrol and diesel engines. This model can be paired with load sharing devices for parallel applications.
Actuator characteristics/compatibility
The 8256-016 is capable of single phase synchronization or pressure drop control. For diesel engines with or without starting fuel limits and gasoline or gas engines with starting fuel limits, the 8256-016 should be paired with magnetic pickups in the 3000 to 6000Hz range. To be used with other gasoline or gas engines, the unit should be paired with a 6000 to 12,000Hz magnetic pickup.
Technical specification
The 8256-016-compatible control has a maximum power consumption of 95W, requiring the battery charger to have 5A or higher current when the device is powered on. Every part of the 8256-016 is corrosion resistant. The device is rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and 93°C. The output shaft of the device has a 0.375 "-36 SAE serrated shaft at both ends.
