Product Description

The 8400-016 is a high-performance digital governor module from Woodward Inc., designed for engine and turbine speed control applications. It provides precise governing between speed sensing devices (such as magnetic pickups) and fuel or throttle actuation systems.

The module maintains stable rotational speed under varying load conditions using advanced digital PID control algorithms, making it suitable for power generation, marine propulsion, and industrial prime mover control applications. Its compact, ruggedized design reduces cabinet space while maintaining high resistance to vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
