Woodward mainly produces engine controllers and other products used in aerospace, industrial engines, turbine and power generation control. The brand has a wide range of products, including solenoid valves, speed controllers, regulating control systems, electronically controlled hydraulic amplifiers, actuators, and current pressure converters.
Compared with other brands, Woodward products have the following advantages:
Long history: founded in 1870, it is still one of the industrial companies in the market**. And the company has been involved in control systems for diesel and aviation engines since the 1930s, with a wealth of industry experience.
Superior performance: It can withstand high loads and high speeds, ensuring stable operation of the equipment under various working conditions. Its digital control operator interface enables users to monitor and adjust relevant parameters simultaneously, and can display eight lines of status information, and also allows users to select four lines of configuration or alarm log information.
Reliable Quality: Advanced manufacturing process and strict quality control system are adopted to ensure the long-term stability and reliability of the products. Its products are also subjected to strict quality checks to ensure that they are of high quality and meet consumers' needs.
Energy-saving and environmental protection: with the characteristics of energy-saving and environmental protection, it can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the equipment and energy waste, which is in line with the requirements of green production in today's world.
Wide application: It is suitable for various types of machinery and equipment, such as agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mining machinery, petrochemical equipment, etc. It has a wide range of application prospects.
woodward main products:
Governors: Woodward TG governors are self-contained, independent oil, mechanical-hydraulic differential governors for small steam turbines that do not require synchronised operation; Woodward PG-PL governors are widely used for speed control of diesel engines, gas engines and steam turbines of all types, as well as for driving pumps and compressors; Woodward TG-13 and TG-17 mechanical-hydraulic differential governors for controlling steam turbines with a maximum rotation angle of 40° on the output shaft. Woodward TG-13 and TG-17 mechanical-hydraulic differential governors are used to control turbines with a maximum output shaft rotation of 40°.
Actuator: Woodward EG-3P actuator can convert the electric control signal into rotary output, and then amplified by hydraulic force to control the servo position output, which is suitable for turbine or large engine with relatively large actuator driving force; Woodward PG-PL actuator can be applied to gas engine or steam turbine, and it can replace the PG-PL, PGL, and PGD type governor, and there is no need to change the original PG type drive. The Woodward PG-PL actuator can be used on gas engines or steam turbines, replacing PG-PL, PGL, PGD governors, and facilitating ESC retrofits by eliminating the need to change the original PG drive linkage.
Controllers: Includes the Woodward 5009 fault-tolerant controller designed for high reliability critical turbine control, configurable for pure condensing, backpressure, or single pumping/recharge turbine applications with triple-redundant CPUs and I/Os; and the Woodward 505/505E digital controllers for controlling industrial turbines, small-grid turbine-generators, or turbine-expansion machines; The Woodward 2301A controller is used for speed and load distribution control of generating sets driven by diesel, petrol, steam or gas engines, while the Woodward 2301D-ST controller is based on microprocessor control with internal software specifically designed for single-valve steam turbine control.
Others: Woodward Current Pressure Converter (CPC), which converts a 4-20mA control signal linearly proportional to an oil pressure output, suitable for pressure-type servo systems or single-acting power cylinders, and can also be used in retrofit projects for older machines; Woodward Protech®203 Overspeed Protection System, which monitors the signals of three independent magneto-resistive transmitters for steam turbines, The Woodward Protech®203 overspeed protection system monitors three independent magnetoresistive transmitter signals to provide overspeed protection for steam turbines, gas turbines, or other prime movers, and is particularly suitable for high speed applications where mechanical overspeed protection is unreliable; Woodward Servo Position Controllers (SPCs), which can accept DeviceNet or 4-20mA position command signals from system controllers and accurately position proportional or integral servo valves to meet the control accuracy, responsiveness, and redundancy requirements of steam turbine or gas turbine fuel control valves. control accuracy, responsiveness and redundancy requirements for steam or gas turbine fuel control valves.
