1% accuracy in either proportional or compensated Transducer centering current will vary with line voltage. (100V centering current will drop to 320 mA.) Do not leave the transducer output connected to a short circuit. Overheating can damage the actuator. Woodward...
All of these actuators require adjustable compensation to provide stability of operation. Because the Woodward designation of most integrating actuators is shown with a “C,” the term “compensated” is used interchangeably with “integrated” in the discussion of test equipment for actuators.

General Information Testing a compensated (integrated) electric actuator or governor/actuator requires a magnetic pickup kit assembly. Testing an EGR actuator requires a remote servomotor mounted on the test stand. Figure 1-6 shows the test hookup for a compensated actuator. Woodward...
Therefore, Woodward actuators are spring biased at the pilot valve to go to maximum or minimum fuel on loss of control signal, depending on customer requirements, The 1/8-inch Allen screw above the magnet adjusts tension on the biasing (centering) spring.

For the actuator to go to maximum-fuel position on loss of electrical signal, adjust null- voltage screw to positive one volt. For the actuator to go to minimum-fuel position on loss of electrical signal, adjust null- voltage screw to negative one volt. Woodward...
