Woodward 8237‑1604 2301D Digital Load‑Sharing and Speed Controller

Product Description

8237‑1604 is a microprocessor‑based digital governor from Woodward's 2301D series. It is designed for diesel‑engine, gas‑engine and turbine‑driven generator sets, executing closed‑loop

speed regulation and parallel‑unit load distribution. It supports parameter configuration via upper‑computer software, adapts to multiple engine speed ranges and running directions,

and provides stable actuator drive output. The rugged metal chassis ensures reliable operation in power‑plant, marine and oil‑field harsh environments.3.
