Woodward 8404-2001 Electrically Powered Governor (EPG) Actuator

The Woodward 8404-2001 Model 4024 EPG actuator represents a proven solution for precise engine speed regulation in demanding industrial environments. Engineered for diesel and gas engine applications, this 24VDC electronic governor delivers consistent performance across power generation, marine propulsion, and industrial drive systems.

Technical Specifications

  • Model: 4024 EPG Actuator
  • Part Number: 8404-2001
  • Supply Voltage: 24 VDC nominal (18-32 VDC operating range)
  • Output Travel: 30 degrees rotational
  • Control Signal: 4-20 mA or 0-5 VDC input
  • Response Time: <100 milliseconds full stroke
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
  • Protection Rating: IP54 environmental sealing
  • Mounting: Standard SAE flange interface

Application Solutions

Power Generation: Maintains stable frequency control in genset applications by precisely modulating fuel delivery. Integrates seamlessly with digital control systems for load sharing and droop compensation.

Marine Propulsion: Ensures smooth throttle response and speed stability for auxiliary engines and main propulsion units. Withstands vibration and harsh marine environments.

Industrial Drives: Controls prime movers in pumping stations, compressor packages, and mechanical drive trains where accurate speed regulation prevents process disruptions.

Key Performance Benefits

This EPG actuator eliminates mechanical linkage complexity while delivering superior positioning accuracy compared to pneumatic systems. The brushless DC motor design ensures extended service life with minimal maintenance requirements. Built-in feedback potentiometer enables closed-loop control for enhanced stability under varying load conditions.

Installation & Integration

Direct replacement capability for legacy Woodward mechanical governors simplifies retrofit projects. Compatible with Woodward 505E, 723PLUS, and 2301A control platforms. Standard wiring harness connections reduce installation time and minimize field errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this actuator replace older mechanical governor models?
A: Yes, the 8404-2001 serves as a direct upgrade path from mechanical UG-8 and UG-40 governors, offering improved accuracy and reduced maintenance.

Q: What control systems are compatible with this EPG?
A: The actuator accepts standard 4-20 mA or 0-5 VDC signals, making it compatible with Woodward digital governors, PLCs, and most industrial control platforms.

Q: Does the unit include position feedback?
A: Yes, an integrated potentiometer provides continuous position feedback for closed-loop control verification.

Q: What is the expected service life?
A: Under normal operating conditions, the brushless motor design typically exceeds 50,000 operating hours before requiring service.

Warranty & Support

Every Woodward 8404-2001 actuator includes a comprehensive 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures. Technical support and application engineering assistance available to ensure optimal system integration.
