Woodward 5437-687 Actuator

Product Dimensions：

Woodward is a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance actuators for industrial engines, turbines, and aerospace applications. Their actuators are known for precision, reliability, and the ability to operate in harsh environments.

1. Product Description

Woodward actuators are motion-control devices that convert electrical or pneumatic signals into mechanical force. They are primarily used to control fuel valves, air dampers, and steam valves. These actuators are designed to interface seamlessly with Woodward’s digital control systems (like the Peak 200 or 505 series).

Common product lines include:

• ProAct Series: All-electric, high-torque actuators for engine throttles.

• F-Series: Integrated modular actuators and throttle bodies.

• VariStroke: Linear electro-hydraulic actuators for steam turbine valve control.

• L-Series: Low-cost, integrated actuators for small engines.

2. Key Product Parameters

While specific parameters vary by model, common specifications across the Woodward range include:

3. Product Advantages

• High Precision: Woodward actuators offer exceptional resolution and repeatability, ensuring stable engine speed and power output.

• All-Electric Design: Many models (like ProAct) eliminate the need for complex hydraulic lines, reducing leaks and maintenance costs.

• Self-Diagnostics: Modern Woodward actuators feature onboard electronics that monitor health and provide feedback via CAN bus.

• Rugged Construction: Built to withstand extreme vibrations and high ambient temperatures found in engine rooms and power plants.

• Seamless Integration: Designed to work “plug-and-play” with other Woodward governors and controllers.

4. Important Considerations (Precautions)

• Electrical Grounding: Improper grounding can lead to signal noise or damage to the internal electronics. Always follow the specific wiring diagram.

• Heat Dissipation: While designed for high temperatures, actuators should be mounted away from direct exhaust heat unless heat shielding is provided.

• Calibration: Ensure the actuator’s mechanical linkage is properly aligned with the fuel rack or valve to avoid “binding” or excessive wear.

• Firmware Compatibility: For smart actuators, ensure the firmware version is compatible with your master controller (e.g., MicroNet or Atlas).

5. Typical Applications

• Power Generation: Controlling fuel flow for gas and diesel generators.

• Marine Propulsion: Regulating engine speed on large vessels and tankers.

• Oil & Gas: Controlling compressors and mechanical drive turbines.

• Renewable Energy: Blade pitch control for small wind turbines or biomass engine management.

• Steam Turbines: Governing steam valves in industrial processing plants.
