The Woodward PG-EG actuator in the governor functions as a combination of an electric actuator and a ballhead governor. It allows for both mechanical control (PG mode) and electrical control (EG mode). The actuator regulates oil flow through the mode select valve to either the ballhead pilot valve (PG mode) or the actuator pilot valve (EG mode), enabling precise control of engine speed and dynamics.

(PGA-EG or PGG-EG) from the PGA or PGG governor. In this manual, PG-EG refers to any of these three governor types. This manual covers the EG, governor components affected by the EG, and information pertaining to the PG-EG. For more general governor information, refer to the PGA governor manual (36604) or the PGG governor manual (36627).
PG-EG Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Manual 36637 Chapter 2. Installation Introduction This chapter describes receiving, storage, and installation requirements for the actuator. Due to typical noise levels in turbine or engine environments, hearing protection should be worn when working on or around the actuator.
Manual 36637 PG-EG Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Most PG governors lift from an eye-bolt threaded into a 0.375-16 (inch) hole in the center of the cover. PG-200, PG-300, and PG-500 governors must be lifted with a sling. Some PG governors have split covers which need to be lifted with a sling as well.
PG-EG Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Manual 36637 The fuel-control linkage must be adjusted so at least 15 % of the governor travel (output) from minimum position has been used when the fuel control is at idle no- load (A and D; see Figure 2-1). This minimum setting is required due to the location of the compensation cut-off port (if so equipped).
USE ONLY NEW, CLEAN OIL. DO NOT USE USED ENGINE OIL IN THE GOVERNOR. Woodward governors and actuators are designed to give stable operation with oils which provide 50 to 3000 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds) of viscosity throughout the operating temperature range. Ideally the viscosity at the normal operating temperature should be between 100 and 300 SUS.

On these governors, there is an oil level dipstick inside the fill port cap.

Principles of Operation Flapper Nozzle System The flapper nozzle system is basically a hydraulic amplifier which converts the torque motor beam position through the pilot valve into a servo position. Pump pressure oil is supplied to the interior of the pilot valve and lowered by the pressure regulating valve into the regulated pressure at 690 kPa (100 psi).
The same set of springs may be set for either a direct- or reverse-acting actuator. The only difference is the level to which the level-adjust spring is set, and the wires to the torque-motor which are reversed. Figure 3-2. PG-EG Schematic, without Mode Select Valve Woodward...
Manual 36637 PG-EG Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Chapter 4. Operation and Adjustments Introduction Because the PGA-EG and PGG-EG are each a combination of an electric actuator and a ballhead governor, routine start-up adjustments can be more complex than on other governors.
Manual 36637 Adjustment of the Anti-rotation Device On the PG-EG actuator with no ballhead, to prevent the feedback lever between the tailrod and the actuator from becoming dislodged by vibration, an anti-rotation device has been added. It consists of a steel plate mounted on the cover of the torque motor which guides a pin protruding from the tailrod.
