General Information
Introduction
This manual provides description, operation, overhaul and replacement parts
information for SG governors (Figure 1-1) and various optional auxiliary features.
The SG governor is a hydraulic speed droop type governor used on small diesel,
gas, or gasoline engines where isochronous (constant speed) control is not
required. The design of the speed droop governor is such that the governor
operates at a slower speed as engine load increases. It is through this
characteristic that stability of the governed system is achieved, and division of
load between paralleled units made possible.
SG governors are available with 10.8 or 21.7 inch-pounds (1.2 or 2.5 J) of work
capacity over 36° of terminal shaft (output) travel.
The torque, work capacity, and maximum work values of the SG

governor are based on 25 psi (172 kPa) supply oil pressure to the
governor. These values can vary depending on the supply oil
pressure.
If not supplied with an internal return spring, the 10.8 inch-pound governor
requires an external return spring (not furnished by Woodward) that exerts a 20
pound-inch (2.3 Nm) torque on the terminal shaft in the closing direction. The
21.7 inch-pound governor requires a spring that exerts a 40 pound-inch (4.5 Nm)
torque on the terminal shaft in the closing direction.
A new cover for the standard SG governor is a vertical return-spring type cover.
This cover is used with or without a return spring, and also, with or without a
Pittman PM (Permanent Magnet) speed-setting motor. For SG governors without
a motor, the cover is furnished with a guide plug for the low-speed stop screw
(see Figures 1-1 and 1-2).
The SG governor is usually arranged to operate at 2400 or 3600 rpm at normal

rated engine speed, and will control down to approximately 25% of normal
speed. Special configurations are available, however, to meet other speed
requirements.
The governor uses engine oil or oil from a separate sump (not furnished by
Woodward) as a control medium; it does not have an independent sump.
Governor Drive
The governor drive shaft is splined to fit into the engine drive (see Figures 5-11
and 5-12). The governor may be mounted vertically or horizontally. If mounted
horizontally, the terminal shaft must also be horizontal and a 3/8-inch drain line
provided to connect to a 1/4-inch pipe-tapped or 0.438-20 (-4) straight-thread
port in the tower end of the governor cover. For connection of the drain line on
the new-style cover, see Figure 1-2 for vertical installation or Figure 5-12 for
horizontally mounted governors.
Woodward 1
The governor drive shaft may be rotated in either direction. However, the
governor relief valve assembly must, when viewing the governor from the
nameplate end, be on the left if the governor is rotated clockwise (when viewed
from above). The relief valve assembly must be on the right for counterclockwise
rotation of the drive.
Figure 1-1. Typical SG Governor with New Style Cover
Figure 1-2. Early Type SG Governor
Speed Adjustment
The speed adjusting shaft is used to set the governor for the desired running
speed. Low speed and high speed stop screws are provided to limit the speed
range of variable speed governors. If the engine is to be operated at one speed
setting, the stop screws may be used to lock the position of the speed adjusting
shaft.
2 Woodward
The terminal shaft may extend on either or both sides of the governor. Shutdown
of the engine can be accomplished by turning the speed adjusting shaft below
the idle speed setting position.
Speed Droop Adjustment

Speed droop adjustment is provided inside the governor. The droop setting
required to gain stability varies with each installation; in most instances it must be
set to increase unit speed two or three percent over the terminal shaft rotation
used from rated power output at rated speed to zero power output. The range of
adjustment is from one-half of one percent to approximately seven percent over
the full 36° available travel of the governor terminal shaft.
Auxiliary Features (Optional)

Speed Adjusting Motor
The SG governor can be fitted with a speed adjusting motor to enable the
switchboard operator to match the frequency of an alternator with that of other
units or a system before synchronizing, and to change load distribution after
synchronizing. Two types of motor are available.
The Bodine motor is of the split field, series wound, reversible type (see Figures
3-8and 3-9). It is available in all standard voltages.
The Pittman motor is of the permanent magnet type 12 or 24 Vdc (see Figures
5-3 and 5-5). When motor supply voltage is other than 12 or 24 Vdc, the following
control boxes are available for conversion to 24 Vdc:
 24 Vdc P/N 8272-515
 110 Vdc P/N 8272-518
 110 Vdc P/N 8272-516
 220 Vdc P/N 8272-517
A manual speed adjusting knob with friction clutch assembly is included on units
fitted with a speed adjusting motor.
Vibration Attenuating Ballhead Assemblies

A spring-driven oil-damped ballhead assembly (Figure 5-8) may be used in SG
governors in place of the standard solid ballhead assembly where it is necessary
to overcome undesirable torsional vibrations transmitted from the engine drive to
the governor ballhead.
Subcap Assemblies
Different subcap assemblies are available to match the particular needs of the
SG governor installation (see Figures 5-7 and 5-12). Figure 5-7 illustrates the
subcap used for an installation with a linear output, Figure 5-12 illustrates a
rotary output with an internal return spring. Subcaps usually include a fuel-rack
stop screw.
Woodward 3
Chapter 2.
Principles of Operation
A schematic arrangement of a typical SG governor is shown in Figure 2-1.
As described earlier, the governor uses engine oil as a control medium and does
not have an independent sump. The engine oil enters the governor at the relief
valve, drops down into the cavity on the suction side of the governor oil pump,
and is carried by the pump gears around to the pressure side of the pump. If the
supply of pressure oil is greater than is required for governing purposes, the
governor pump will build up pressure until the relief valve plunger is pushed to
the right against the force of the relief valve plunger spring. The governor pump
will then recirculate the oil within the governor.
If pressure oil is used for governing purposes, the pressure will be reduced and
the spring will move the relief valve plunger to the left. The recirculating passage
is thus blocked so that operating pressure is maintained.
The pilot valve plunger controls the movement of the power piston by directing oil
to and from the area beneath the power piston. The power piston, operating
through the power piston pin and terminal lever, positions the terminal shaft to
which the engine fuel linkage connects.
When the governor is running on-speed, the control land of the pilot valve
plunger covers the control port of the ballhead bushing, and the power piston
remains stationary.
If the engine load is increased, the governor speed decreases, and speeder
spring force—now greater than the lifting effect of the centrifugal force developed
by the rotating ballarms—pushes the pilot valve plunger down. Pressure oil is
directed to the area under the power piston and pushes the piston up. The power
piston and pin rotate the terminal lever and terminal shaft in the direction to
increase fuel.
Note that, as the terminal lever rotates in the “increase fuel” direction, the speed
droop pin is raised. The right end of the floating lever pivots about the speed
adjusting lever pin as the left end of the lever is raised. Raising the left end of the
floating lever raises the spring fork and decreases the speeder spring force.
Thus, the governor ballhead is enabled to re-center the pilot valve plunger at
lower speeds as fuel is increased, a characteristic described as “speed droop”.
Closing the control port stops further movement of the power piston
simultaneously with return of the engine to the lower speed, a speed determined
by the new speeder spring force.
If the engine load is decreased, the governor speed increases and the ballarms
lift the pilot valve plunger against the downward force of the speeder spring. The
uncovered control port in the ballhead bushing connects the oil under the power
piston to sump. The absence of pressure under the power piston allows the
external spring force to rotate the terminal shaft and terminal lever in the
“decrease fuel” direction.
When moving in the decrease fuel direction, the terminal lever lowers the speed
droop pin. The floating lever lowers the spring fork to increase the speeder spring
force. The increase in speeder spring force re-centers the pilot valve plunger,
and requires an increase in speed to keep it centered. Closing the control port
stops further movement of the power piston simultaneously with return of the
engine to the higher speed required by the higher spring force.
4 Woodward
The amount of speed change for a given terminal shaft rotation depends upon
the setting of the speed droop pin. Moving the pin towards the ballhead
decreases the speed change; moving it away from the ballhead increases the
speed change.

Installation and Adjustment
Installation
Introduction
These instructions apply to three types of SG governors differentiated by their
speed settings:
 Lever
 Pneumatic
 Electric
Additional considerations for governors with pneumatic or electric speed setting

are listed under respective headings.
Direction of Rotation
Rotation of the governor drive shaft as viewed from the top of the governor must
be the same as that of the engine drive when looking down on the mounting pad.
When the governor is to be rotated clockwise (when viewed from above), the
governor relief valve assembly must, when viewing the governor from the
nameplate end, be on the left.
When the governor is to be rotated counterclockwise (when viewed from above),

the governor relief valve assembly must, when viewing the governor from the
nameplate end, be on the right.
Be sure engine mounting-pad drive and governor drive rotation are

the same. Incorrect drive rotation will cause the governor to become
inoperative and may cause governor damage.
Place a gasket between the base of the governor and the engine mounting pad.
Mount the governor square with the engine drive and in line with the linkage. The
splined drive shaft must fit the engine drive freely with no tightness. Do not force
the governor onto the mounting pad.
Be sure the gasket does not block off the three drain holes In the
base. See Figures 5-10, 5-11, and 5-12.
Oil Supply
Connect a 0.250 inch ID oil supply line to the 0.125 inch pipe-tapped hole in the
relief valve. Oil from the engine must supply a minimum of 5 psi (34 kPa) to the
governor. If a separate sump is used, the distance the governor must lift the oil
should not exceed 12 inches (30 cm), and a foot valve with a capacity of 2 US
gallons per minute (7.6 L/min) must be used. Use a 2 USgal/min (7.6 L/min), 40
µm filter in the oil supply line. In suction lift applications, the filter must not be in
series with the inlet line to the governor. Keep oil lines as short as possible.
6 Woodward
If mounted horizontally, the terminal shaft must also be horizontal and a 3/8 inch
external drain line provided to connect to either a 1/4-Inch pipe tapped hole or
0.438-20 (-4) straight-thread port In the lower end of the governor cover or
subcap. See Figure 5-12 to connect the drain to the new style cover when the
governor is mounted horizontally.
Use a supply system similar to Figure 3-1 for applications requiring quick starts.
Figure 3-1. Recommended Engine Oil System for Quick Starts
Minimum drainage or siphon level is that oil level in the governor below which the
governor pump gears are no longer submerged in oil. Oil level in the oil tank
must always be as high as, or higher than, this line. If not, governor pump gears
are no longer submerged in oil and will cavitate when the prime mover is started,
causing possible loss of governor control.
Most problems of mechanical hydraulic governors occur because of

dirty oil. Be sure to use clean oil.
Keep the end of the overboard drain line above the engine sump oil level.
Most standard 1 to 2 quart housings (approximately 1 to 2 L), with filter omitted,

can be adapted for this system.
Pneumatic Speed Setting

There are two types. The reverse acting increases speed with a decrease in air
pressure, while the direct acting increases speed with an increase in air
pressure.
The pneumatic speed-setting cover has two tapped holes for the oil reservoir.
Use one of the two holes for the reservoir and plug the other. Always mount the
oil reservoir with the hole for the air connection up. Be sure the other hole is
plugged (see outline drawing, Figure 3-2 or 3-3). Install the governor on the
engine. Using a funnel, fill the oil reservoir to approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm)
from the top via the hole for the air connection in top of the reservoir.
Attach the air signal pressure line to the hole in top of the oil reservoir.

Electric Speed Setting

The Bodine motor and the PM motor are coupled to the governor speed-setting
mechanism through a friction clutch. If the operator runs the speed adjustment to
its limit, the clutch is set to slip, thereby protecting the speed-adjusting motor.
Connect the electric speed setting as shown in Figure 3-5 or 3-6. Figure 3-5 is for
the Bodine motor, and Figure 3-6 is for the PM motor. Voltage for the Bodine
motor is shown on the motor.
Figure 3-4. SG with Fuel Rod and Bodine Electric Motor for Speed Setting
Figure 3-5. Wiring Diagram for Bodine Motor (Switch not furnished)
The permanent magnet motor operates on dc power. If a 115 or 230

Vac or Vdc power source is used, convert the power source to 24 to
32 Vdc. A converter can be ordered from Woodward. See Chapter 1,
Speed Adjusting Motor.
Connect to correct voltage.
If a new cover and PM motor is ordered for use on an existing governor, all that
is required to install the new cover is to remove the old cover and set the new
assembly In place. If some adjustment is necessary. loosen the screws holding
the PM motor in place and align the motor shaft with the clutch. Apply Loctite 242
or equivalent to the screws and tighten to 10 lb-in (1.1 Nm).
Woodward 9
Figure 3-6. Wiring Diagram for PM Motor (switch not furnished)
When the cover is used without the PM motor, a screw is placed in the hole
where the motor drive shaft normally fits. This screw is then used as a low-speed
stop. The cover also houses a vertical return spring when one is used.
Linkage
Linear
Use a linear linkage for diesel-engine applications. Adjust the fuel linkage to
provide control of engine fuel from the minimum to the maximum engine fuel
stops. Use two-thirds of the output shaft travel between the fuel rack’s no load
and full load positions. See Figure 3-7 for recommended governor terminal shaft
travel. Adjust the maximum-fuel-rack stop screw to obtain the maximum output
rotation. Maximum rotation for vertical-return-spring governors is 40°. Maximum
rotation for other units is 36°.
Figure 3-7. Recommended Governor Terminal Shaft Travel
10 Woodward
Attach the fuel rack linkage to the governor output shaft. Be sure there is no lost
motion or binding in the linkage. See Figure 3-8 for linear linkage arrangement.
Be sure to allow sufficient overtravel at each end of the terminal

shaft so the governor can shut down the engine and also give
maximum fuel when required.
The torque and work capacity values quoted are based on 25 psi (172
kPa) supply pressure to the governor. These values can vary,
depending on the oil supply pressure.
Figure 3-8. Linear Linkage Arrangement
Governor output can be with either terminal shaft or with fuel rod: connect linkage
accordingly. Some subcaps with a fuel rod have a knob which can be pushed in
to open the fuel racks when starting an engine, or pulled out to close the fuel
racks and stop the engine.
Non-Linear
Applications involving a butterfly valve, such as on a gas engine, require a non-
linear linkage.
Figure 3-9 illustrates the relationship between governor output shaft and butterfly
obtained with simple linkage of maximum non-linearity. When installing this
linkage, make sure the two following conditions are attained when the linkage is
in the no-load position:
1. The lever which is attached to the governor and the connecting link is in line
with the governor output shaft and the point of attachment of the connecting
link to the butterfly lever.
2. The butterfly lever must be at 90 degrees with the connecting link.
Refer to the prime-mover manufacturer’s manual for the correct linkage selection
and installation.
Woodward 11
Figure 3-9. Non-linear Linkage Arrangement
Adjustment
Starting the Engine for the First Time
Start the engine as instructed by the engine manufacturer. For a safe start-up,
adjust the governor for a reduced speed and allow the engine to warm up.
Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the

engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against
runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
property damage.
Make the following adjustments to the governor only if the engine

does not stabilize, The governor was adjusted at the factory and
should not require any adjustment.

(The cover must be removed to access the speed droop adjustment. Use caution
if internal return springs are used. See Figure 5-1, part 15, or Figure 5-2, part
111.)
SINGLE ENGINE OPERATION—If engine speed does nor stabilize, shut down
the engine. Increase droop slightly (about 0.0625 inch [1.588 mm] movement of
bracket away from the governor ballhead), and restart the engine. Manually
move the engine fuel linkage to cause a temporary engine speed change.
Continue to increase the droop until operation is satisfactory.
Not enough droop can cause instability in the form of hunting, surging, or
difficulty in response to a load change. Too much droop can result in slow
governor response in picking up or dropping off load.
OPERATING IN PARALLEL WITH OTHER ALTERNATORS—Droop is used to

divide and balance load between units driving the same shaft or paralleled in the
electrical system. It total load does not divide properly, increase droop on units
taking too much of the load.
12 Woodward
On interconnected units, set the least amount of droop possible to provide
satisfactory load division.
The no load to full load speed change must be equal for all paralleled
units.
Adjust the speed setting of SG governors or other governors with speed droop to
get distribution of load between synchronized units. Increasing the speed setting
of a particular unit will increase the load on that unit.
If the governor output shaft does not use the full 2/3 of available
travel from “NO LOAD” TO “FULL LOAD”, droop wilt also be reduced
proportionately.
Normally, the amount of droop set into the SG governor to make it stable in a
system will be enough to allow the units to parallel.
Troubleshooting
If engine hunts or surges:
a. Adjust and align linkage, check for lost motion, binding, excessive friction,
and linearity of load to governor travel.
b. Increase speed droop.
c. Make sure that the ballhead cavity is not lull of oil. This could be a drain
problem.
If engine speed increases as load increases:

a. Increase droop slightly.
Load does not divide properly on interconnected engines:

This applies when load is increased or decreased. and speed setting is constant.
a. Repeat speed droop adjustment.

b. Check voltage regulator droop.
c. Adjust droop to divide load properly.
d. Increase droop to resist picking up (or dropping off) load.
e. Reduce droop to increase picking up (or dropping off) load.
f. Adjust droop and tighten screw securely.
Engine will not pick up rated full load:

a. Adjust and align fuel linkage, check for lost motion, binding, excessive
friction, and linearity of load to governor travel.
b. Adjust maximum speed stop.
c. Check speed-adjusting linkage, if present, for interference.
d. Check for insufficient fuel flow.
e. If engine is at maximum fuel stop and still cannot pick up rated full load, the
problem is elsewhere in the system and not in the governor.
Governor oil overflows:

Make sure that oil flow through the two drain holes is not restricted by the gasket
between the governor base and engine. See Figure 5-10 for drain holes.
Woodward 13
Chapter 4.
Overhaul
Introduction
The components of the SG governor have undergone substantial modification
since first introduced. For this reason it is imperative that requests for information
or parts for SG governors include:
 Governor model and serial number as shown on governor nameplate.
 Manual number (this is manual 04048).
 Part reference number and name or description of part.
Exploded views of the most recent and early versions of the SG governor are
shown in Figures 5-1 and 5-2.
Disassembly Instructions
Governor
It is suggested that the best mechanic available—preferably one with small parts
assembly experience—be assigned to all governor maintenance and repair work.
Cleanliness of tools and work area is essential to a satisfactory overhaul of any
governor. Aside from the usual hand tools, one would require only a pair of
Waldes No. 2 external snap ring pliers. A work bench with vise, an arbor press,
and containers for cleaning solvents should be provided.
If the governor is to be taken apart completely, proceed in this manner:
1. Clamp the governor lightly in a vise; vise jaws must grasp the base below
the base-case joint on the sides under the terminal shaft.
2. Remove cover screws. Lift off cover. Use caution if a return spring is
present.
At this point, inspection of the terminal lever (13, Figure 5-1, or 113, Figure
5-2) will reveal whether the governor is of the type shown in Figure 5-1 or
Figure 5-2. The first number following in parenthesis identifies parts shown
in Figure 5-1; the second number, parts shown in Figure 5-2.
3. Remove speed droop screw (10/109), washer(s) (11 and 12/110), and
bracket (15/111).
4. Remove cotter pins (14/112) from terminal lever (13/113).
5. Remove long terminal shaft (37/136) and synthetic rubber seals (36/135).
6. Insert a 5/16-inch diameter rod in the opening left by the long terminal shaft
and drive short terminal shaft (39/138) out; plug (32/139) will be forced out
at this time.
7. Remove terminal lever (13/113) from the governor.
14 Woodward
8. Make a note of the distance the high speed stop screw (29/128) protrudes
from the governor case so that it can be set approximately the same when
reassembling. Remove stop screw (29/1 28), locknut (30/129), and washer
(31/—).
9. Remove speed adjusting shaft (35/134) as follows:
Figure 5-1—
A. Using a 1/8-inch diameter punch or rod, drive roll pin (26) out of speed
adjusting lever (27) and into the governor case.
B. Pull speed adjusting shaft (35) out of the case.
C. Lift out the assembly consisting of speed adjusting lever (27), pilot
valve plunger (20), thrust bearing (21), and connecting parts. Remove
torsion spring (34).
If the governor is equipped with a spring-driven ballhead, see Figure

5-8 or 5-9. Parts are not available for the ballhead shown in Figure 5-
9.
On those governors in which the speed adjusting shaft does not stick out through
governor case, remove shaft as follows:
D. Drive roll pin (26) out of speed adjusting lever (27) as in step A above.
E. Remove spring wire pin (28) and lift out floating lever (25), pilot valve
(20), thrust bearing (21), and connecting parts.
F. Using a soft (brass) rod against the speed adjusting lever—hold the rod
against either side of lever as close to the shaft as possible—drive
lever (27) and bushing (33) out until welch plug (32) pops out of case.
G. Insert a 5/16-inch diameter rod in the hole left by the welch plug and
drive the speed adjusting shaft back in the other direction, knocking the
other welch plug out.
H. Pull the shaft out, removing speed adjusting lever (27) and torsion
spring (34) as the shaft is withdrawn.
Figure 5-2—
A. Unscrew speed adjusting sleeve (133) and spacer cap (130)—each
with a copper gasket (131).
B. Lift out the assembly consisting of speed adjusting shaft (134), pilot
valve (118), thrust bearing (119), and connecting parts.
C. Remove cotter pin (124) and speed adjusting shaft (134) from
assembly just removed.
10. Disassemble speed adjusting lever (27/126), floating lever (25/125), and
spring fork (18/116) by twisting off the bent end of spring wire pin (28/123).
11. Remove plug (41/141) opposite the relief valve assembly and copper gasket
(42/131).

A. Remove oil inlet plug (47) and copper gasket (42).
B. Remove springs (46 and 45).
C. Remove relief valve plunger (60) and sleeve assembly (43).
If the plunger and sleeve cannot be removed easily with a small pair
of long-nosed pliers (or tweezers) and a hook scriber, leave them in
place until step 17.
Figure 5-2—
D. Remove relief valve sleeve (146) and copper gasket (131). The sleeve
contains the other elements of the relief valve assembly.
13. Remove the governor from the vise and invert it, catching, in—
Figure 5-1—power piston pin (16), power piston (17), and roll pin (26)
(driven out of speed adjusting lever earlier);
Figure 5-2—power piston (114).
14. If the governor has a spring-driven ballhead assembly (Figure 5-8 or 5-9),
remove snap ring (306/324) under the ballarms (310/329) and lift out the
ballhead (311/328).
15. Remove snap ring (S7/157) or collar (—/159) from drive shaft. Lift out
ballhead assembly (22, 23, 24, Figure 5-1; 120, 121, 122, Figure 5-2; 306
through 314, Figure 5-8). Remove press-fit collar (—/159) by driving the
shaft into the base using a plastic or other soft hammer.
16. Remove three screws (58/155), and remove governor base (55/154). If the
base does not separate easily from the case, clamp the base, governor
nameplate side of case up, lightly in a vise. Using a plastic or soft hammer,
tap the underside of the case to loosen it from base.
Hold a hand under the base-case joint to catch the pump gears which
may drop out as the base and case are separated.
Remove pump gears (52, 53/151, 152) and seal ring (54/153).
17. If the relief valve sleeve and plunger (Figure 5-1) could not be removed in
step 12C, insert a 3/16-inch diameter rod in the tapped hole opposite the
relief valve opening, push plunger (60) out, and pull out the sleeve assembly
(43).
Case
If necessary to replace the idler gear stud, terminal sleeves, oil seals, or
bushings, proceed as follows:
16 Woodward
Figure 5-1—
1. Clamp idler gear stud (51) in a vise. Twist and pull the case to remove the
stud.
Be careful not to score the bottom surface of the case.
2. Drive out plugs (32) and bushings (33 and 38) using a 3/8-inch diameter rod
and a piloted driving block similar to that shown in Figure 4-1. In each
instance, drive the bushings outward (rather than towards the center of the
case).
Figure 5-2—
3. Remove idler stud (150) as outlined in step 1 above.
4. Drive terminal sleeves (137) out of case. Use the piloted driving block
shown in Figure 4-1, or insert a 5/1 6-inch diameter threaded rod through
one side of the case, install a nut, and drive out the sleeve.
5. Remove synthetic rubber seals (135) if not already taken out.
6. Press bushings (132) out of sleeves (137) if worn.
Figure 4 1 Bushing Driver

Figure 5-1 or 5-2—
1. Twist speeder spring (19/117) to detach from pilot valve plunger (20/118).
2. Clamp spring fork (18/116) in a vise with the pin hole up. Using a thin
screwdriver or small punch, drive the speeder spring off the fork.
3. On some early modal governors (Figure 5-2), pilot valve plunger (161) may
be pressed out of spring seat (160). The pilot valve plunger and spring seat
are one piece in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-8—
4. Twist speeder spring assembly (301) to detach from spring seat (304). The
speeder spring and spring fork are a bonded assembly and must not be
disassembled. Replace the assembly if the bond has separated.
5. Do not disturb the position of, or remove spring seat (304) from, pilot valve
plunger (305) unless replacement of parts is necessary. Should the
relationship of these parts be disturbed for any reason, the pilot valve
plunger must be re-centered in the bushing at time of reassembly. If
disassembly is necessary, hold the pilot valve plunger with a screwdriver
while loosening the nut.
Woodward 17
Relief Valve
Previous steps have removed the relief valve elements of governors shown in
Figure 5-1.
1. The relief valve assembly in Figure 5-2 will have either plunger (162) or
bushing (142) and plunger (143).
2. To remove plunger (162), insert long-nosed pliers in the end of the sleeve,
push the plunger down, and grip pin (145). Slide the pin out and remove the
plunger and spring (144).
3. To remove bushing (142) and plunger (143), insert a small sharp chisel in
the end of the bushing. With a sharp blow, cut pin (145). Remove the broken
pin. Insert a small rod in the threaded end of the relief valve and push out
the bushing, plunger, and spring (144).
Ballhead Assemblies
SOLID BALLHEAD ASSEMBLY—Grind off one end of ballarm pins (23/121 or
164) to remove ballarms.
SPRING-DRIVEN OIL-DAMPED BALLHEAD ASSEMBLY (FIGURE 5-8)

1. Remove snap ring (306) under ballarms (310) and then pull pilot valve
bushing (307) out of the ballhead.
2. Support drive cup (314) on a 1 or 1-1/8-inch (25 or 29 mm) diameter pipe or

wooden dowel and press off ballhead cover (308). Use a 3-inch (76 mm)
long pipe or tube machined to 2.150 (+0.005–0.000) [54.61 (+0.13–0.00)
mm] inside diameter and a depth of 0.750 inch (19.05 mm) as a pusher.
3. Lift off ballhead (311) and remove pins (309) and ballarms (310).
4. Remove torsion spring (312) and ball bearing (313) from drive cup (314).
SPRING-DRIVEN BALLHEAD ASSEMBLY (FIGURE 5-9)

This ballhead has been replaced by the oil damped version shown in Figure 5-8.
Spare parts are no longer available.
1. Remove spiral retaining ring (323).
2. Remove ballarm pins (326) and ballarms (329).
3. Lift the centering spring coupling assembly (325) out of ballhead (328).
Repair
Most repair work consists of cleaning and polishing of parts. Use 320 to 500 grit
emery cloth for polishing. All pistons should move freely without binding or
catching. Excessive clearance between mating parts, however, will result in
excessive leakage of pressure oil within the governor.
18 Woodward
Pilot Valve Plunger

Be extremely careful when polishing the pilot valve plunger control land. Leave
the corners sharp. Broken or rounded corners on this land will ruin the pilot valve
plunger.
Case
If the ground bottom surface of the case is grooved or worn from rotation of the
pump gears, or scratched from mishandling, it may be surface ground to clean-
up. Up to 1/32 inch (0.79 mm) material may be removed. Lap the surface smooth
on a flat plate if a surface grinder is not available.
Base
If the ground flat surface of the base is warped, nicked, or deeply scratched, it
may be lapped smooth on a flat plate. Do not remove more material than
necessary to clean-up. If the depth of the gear pockets is reduced, the gears will
bind. In this event, the faces of the gears must be lapped to provide clearance.
Pump Gears
The pump gears should be laid in the gear pockets and tested for free rotation. If
the gears turn roughly, inspect for nicks or wear of gear teeth and for interference
at the internal corners of the gear pockets in the base.
Assembly Instructions
Handle parts with care during assembly. In general. the assembly procedure is
the reverse of the disassembly operation. Assembly suggestions follow.
Case
Figure 5-1—
If necessary to install new bushings (33 and 38), press the bushings in with an
arbor press to the dimensions shown in Figure 4-2. Press in the idler gear stud to
the depth shown in Figure 4-2.
After installing the bushings, line size or line ream with standard 3/8-inch
diameter line reamer.
Figure 5-2—
Press bushings (132) in flush with small end of terminal sleeves (137). Press the
terminal sleeves into the case; sleeve shoulder to be tight against case. (Insert a
support plate of exactly the correct width between the inside walls of the case.)
Press in the gear stud. The stud should project 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) out of the case.
Press bushings (132) in flush with each end of speed adjusting sleeve (133).
After installing the bushings, line size or line ream with standard 3/8-inch
diameter line reamer.
Woodward 19
Figure 4-2. Bushing and Gear Stud Replacement
Ballhead Assemblies
SOLID BALLHEAD ASSEMBLY (FIGURE 5-1 or 5-2)—Use new ballarm pins
(23/121) and lightly upset each end to retain in position.
SPRING-DRIVEN OIL-DAMPED BALLHEAD ASSEMBLY (FIGURE 5-8)—

Reassemble ballhead components (309 through 314) and then press on ballhead
cover (308). A minimum force of 90 pounds (400 N) should be required to
reinstall a used cover, or a minimum of 100 pounds (445) for a new cover. The
top edge of the cover must be flush with the top surface of the ballhead. If the
cover is pressed too far, it will bind on the drive cup and result in erratic or no
vibration dampening. Take care not to bend or otherwise distort the base or walls
of the cup.
Case and Base

Figures 5-1 or 5-2
1. Drive dowel pins (56/156) out of the base.
2. Place the pump gears in the gear pockets of the base.
20 Woodward
3. Coat the surface of the base with oil. Do not use shellac.
4. Place base seal ring (54/153) in the base groove. If gasket (158, Figure 5-2)
is reused, it must not be torn or compressed to less than 0.003 inch (0.08
mm). If so, use a new 0.005-inch (0.13 mm) thick gasket. Do not tap out a
new gasket with a hammer since this may round the sharp edges of gear
pockets.
5. Place the case on the base, invert, and insert the ballhead-drive shaft
assembly through the bottom of the base to permit rotation of the pump
gears (the ballhead and ballarms now stick outside of the governor). On
governors in which the drive shaft is integral with the pump drive gear, the
shaft projects through the base to provide a means of rotating the pump
gears.
6. Insert the base screws and tighten while turning the ballhead (or drive shaft)
to ensure free rotation of gears.
7. Insert the dowel pins and drive them down approximately 1/16 inch (1.6
mm) below the base surface. Remove the ballhead drive shaft.
8. On governors using snap ring (57/157), place the ballhead and drive shaft
assembly into position in the governor case. Use snap ring pliers to install
the snap ring.
On governors using a drive shaft collar (159, Figure 5-2), clamp a 1 to

1-3/16 inch (25 to 30 mm) diameter sleeve or pipe having a 5/8 inch (15.9
mm) diameter bore upright in a vise. Place the ballhead-drive shaft
assembly into position in the governor and slip the drive shaft collar over the
drive shaft. Hold the governor on the sleeve with the drive shaft slipping into
the 5/8 inch diameter hole with the collar resting against the sleeve. Place a
7/18 inch (9.9 mm) diameter brass rod on the ballhead between the
ballarms, and drive the collar onto the drive shaft. Take the governor off the
drive sleeve and lap the end of the drive shaft lightly with a plastic or soft
hammer until the drive shaft turns freely with a minimum of end play.
9. Turn the drive shaft with your fingers. If it binds, loosen the screws slightly
and free-up by striking at the corners of the base. Tighten screws and
recheck.
Spring Fork, Speeder Spring and Pilot Valve Plunger

Figure 5-1 or 5-2
1. Reassemble spring seat and pilot valve plunger (160 and 161, Figure 5-2), if
necessary.
2, Attach spring fork (18/116) to conical shaped speeder springs (19/117) by

“winding” the fork into the spring.
3. Wind the spring and fork assembly firmly into the spring seat on the pilot
valve plunger (20/118).
4. Each end of speeder spring must be securely attached to its mating part.
Woodward 21
Figure 5-8—
5. Remove pipe plug (50, Figure 5-1; 149, Figure 5-2) 50 that the control land
on the pilot valve plunger may be observed.
6. Assemble spring seat (304) and nut (303) on pilot valve plunger (305). Do
not tighten the nut.
7. Install thrust bearing (302) and plunger in the case.
8. Push the plunger downward as far as possible, moving the ballarms to their
innermost position.
9. Using a flashlight, observe the position of the upper edge of the control land
on the plunger with respect to the metering port in the pilot valve bushing
and note the amount of port opening (see Figure 4-3, A).
10. Hold the plunger in contact with the toes of the ballarms while pushing the
ballarms to their outermost position. Observe the position of the lower edge
of the plunger control land with respect to the metering port and again note
the amount of port opening (see Figure 4-3, B).
11. Openings A and B should be equal within 0.010inch (0.25 mm) or as nearly
as can be determined by visual observation.
Figure 4-3. Centering Pilot Valve Plunger
12. If openings A and B are not approximately equal, hold the spring seat
stationary and turn the plunger in or out as required. Tighten the plunger nut
and recheck the centering adjustment. Readjust, if necessary.
13. Remove the plunger from the case and “wind” the speeder spring assembly
(301) firmly into the spring seal on the plunger. Reinstall the plunger in the
case.
14. Reinstall the pipe plug using a thread-sealing compound.
22 Woodward
Relief Valve
Figure 5-1—
Be sure relief valve plunger (60) moves freely in relief valve sleeve (43) (plunger
installed with small diameter towards inside of governor). The sleeve must fit
freely into the case bore.
Figure 5-2—
Plunger (143 or 162) must move freely in sleeve (146). If of the type using
bushing (142), rotate the bushing 90° from the previous alignment, press in flush
with the end of the sleeve, and drill a 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) diameter hole for new
pin (145). Use pin holes in relief valve sleeve (146) as pilot holes when drilling
the bushing.

Cover Assembly with Bodine Speed Adjusting Motor

Adjustments
A friction coupling is incorporated in these cover assemblies to permit overtravel
of the motor with no resulting damage. This coupling should be adjusted to slip at
4.5 to 5.5 lb-in (0.5 to 0.6 Nm) of torque. The motor must be mounted in such a
manner as to center the shaft in the coupling. Full travel of the shaft in each
direction should produce no binding.
Bearing Lubrication
Use Regal A oil or a good 10 weight oil for bearing lubrication. Under normal,
intermittent operation, apply 5 drops of oil to the oil hole and oil cup every year. If
the motor is run for long periods of time, apply 5 drops of oil to the oil hole and oil
cup every six months.
Gear Lubrication
The speed reduction gear housing of a new motor is filled with sufficient lubricant
to last for two years under normal, intermittent operation. Under extensive use,
when the motor is run for long periods of time, the lubricant will last about one
year.
To replace grease, clean out the old grease and refill the gear housing 3/4 full of
one of the following greases:
 Bodine
 Supermil Grease No. A72832, by Standard Oil Company
 Dow Corning Grease No, 44, when specified (temperature range is –40 to
+400 °F/–40 to +204 °C).
Make sure the ball thrust bearing is reinstalled with the gearbox.

Speed Adjusting Motor
Adjustments
A friction coupling is incorporated in these cover assemblies to permit overtravel
of the motor with no resulting damage. This coupling should be adjusted to slip at
4.5 to 5.5 lb-in (0.5 to 0.6 Nm) of torque and be locked in place with set screw
(205). The motor must be mounted in such a manner as to center the shaft in the

Subcap Assemblies
The parts comprising typical subcap assemblies are shown in Figures 5-6 and
5-7. Except for the subcap assembly, the operation and construction of a
governor equipped with a subcap are similar to the conventional governors
described in preceding pages.
Governors with subcaps do not require an external spring acting in the shutdown
direction since the subcap springs perform the same function.
The output of a governor with the subcap assembly shown in Figure 5-6 is at fuel
rod (235) rather than at a terminal shaft. As in other model SG governors, the
terminal lever (245) is rotated by the power piston movement as fuel changes are
called for by the governor ballhead and pilot valve. The terminal lever pin (247),
pushing against fuel rod collar (240), effects the movement of the fuel rod.
Maximum fuel to the engine is limited by the setting of stop screw (232) which
limits the angular travel of the terminal lever.
The fuel rod spacer (243) is positioned by the setting of hex nut (242), and must
be adjusted to match the engine linkage. The engine manufacturer’s manual
provides instructions for this adjustment. After the hex nut is properly set, use
knob (241) to lock it in position.
Knob (241) provided on the front of the subcap assembly may be manually
pushed in to open the fuel racks when starting, or pulled out to close the fuel
racks and stop the engine.
Some governors are equipped with the subcap assembly shown in Figure 5-7.
The purpose of this type of subcap assembly is to provide a spring force within
the governor to urge the terminal lever in the “fuel off” direction.

Troubleshooting
General
It is impossible to anticipate every kind of trouble that is encountered in the field.
This manual covers most common troubles experienced. Governor performance
or operation of auxiliary equipment may cause poor regulation. Consider the
effect of the auxiliary equipment used on the overall control required of the
governor.
You can correct approximately 95% of all trouble by following these instructions,
the other 55% may require the service of a governor engineering specialist.
Oil Trouble
Diesel engine lubricating oils are satisfactory, but if they contain additives
(inhibitors) which are used to free up rings, remove carbon, etc., a non-foaming
additive must also be present.
The oil must not foam or sludge excessively when agitated, or form gummy
deposits when heated to operating temperature and subjected to operating
pressure changes. Oil contaminated with water will cause foaming.
Dirty oil causes approximately 75% of all SG governor troubles. Change the
engine lubricating oil more often than essential for engine maintenance purposes
if proper filters are not used in the supply line to the governor.

Although the governor appears to operate satisfactorily because the engine runs
at constant speed (without load), the governor may require adjustments.
Analysis and Correction of Governing Troubles

Use the following chart to determine the probable causes of faulty governor
operation and to correct these troubles.
Definitions of a few common terms used in the chart follow:

HUNT—A rhythmic variation of speed which can be eliminated by blocking the
fuel supply manually but which reappears when returned to governor control.
SURGE—A rhythmic variation of speed always of large magnitude which can be
eliminated by blocking the fuel supply manually and which will not reappear when
returned to governor control unless the speed adjustment or the load changes.
JIGGLE—A high frequency vibration of the governor terminal shaft or engine
linkage. Do not confuse with normal regulating action of the governor.
Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the

engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against
runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
property damage.
