The Woodward PSG (Pressure Compensated Simple Governor) can operate as an isochronous or a speed droop type governor. It uses engine lubrication oil, increased to a pressure of 1200 kPa (175 psi) by a gear type pump inside the governor, to give hydra/mechanical speed control.Pilot Valve Operation
A gear on the rear of the fuel injection pump camshaft drives a vertical pinion shaft. The pinion shaft turns pilot valve bushing (13) counterclockwise, as seen from the drive unit end of the governor. The pilot valve bushing is connected to a spring driven ballhead. Flyweights (7) are fastened to the ballhead by pivot pins. The centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the ballhead causes the flyweights to pivot out. This action of the flyweights changes the centrifugal force to axial force against speeder spring (5). There is a thrust bearing (9) between the toes of the flyweights and the seat for the speeder spring. Pilot valve (12) is fastened to the seat for the speeder spring. Movement of the pilot valve is controlled by the action of the flyweights against the force of the speeder spring.The engine is at the governed (desired) rpm when the axial force of the flyweights is the same as the force of compression in the speeder spring. The flyweights will be in the position shown. Control ports (14) will be closed by the pilot valve.Fuel Increase
When the force of compression in the speeder spring increases (operator increases desired rpm) or the axial force of the flyweights decreases (load on the engine increases) the pilot valve will move in the direction of the drive unit. This opens control ports (14). Pressure oil flows through a passage in the base to chamber (B). The increased pressure in chamber (B) causes power piston (6) to move. The power piston pushes strut assembly (4), which is connected to output shaft lever (3). The action of the output shaft lever causes clockwise rotation of output shaft (2). This moves the fuel control linkage (15) in the FUEL ON direction.

(2) Output shaft (15) Fuel control linkageAs the power piston moves in the direction of return spring (1) the volume of chamber (A) increases. The pressure in chamber (A) decreases. This pulls the oil from the chamber inside the power piston, above buffer piston (11) into chamber (A). As the oil moves out from above buffer piston (11) to fill chamber (A) the buffer piston moves up in the bore of the power piston. Chambers (A and B) are connected respectively to the chambers above and below the pilot valve compensating land (10). The pressure difference felt by the pilot valve compensating land adds to the axial force of the flyweights to move the pilot valve up and close the control ports. When the flow of pressure oil to chamber (B) stops so does the movement of the fuel control linkage.Fuel Decrease
When the force of compression in the speeder spring decreases (operator decreases desired rpm) or the axial force of the flyweights increases (load on the engine decreases) the pilot valve will move in the direction of speeder spring (5). This opens control ports (14). Oil from chamber (B) and pressure oil from the pump will dump through the end of the pilot valve bushing. The decreased pressure in chamber (B) will let the power piston move in the direction of the drive unit. Return spring (1) pushes against strut assembly (4). This moves output shaft lever (3). The action of the output shaft lever causes counterclockwise rotation of output shaft (2). This moves fuel control linkage (15) in the FUEL OFF direction.

(6) Power piston (8) Needle valve (10) Pilot valve compensating land (11) Buffer piston (14) Control ports (A) Chamber (B) ChamberAs power piston (6) moves in the direction of the drive unit the volume of chamber (A) decreases. This pushes the oil in chamber (A) into the chamber above buffer piston (11). As the oil from chamber (A) flows into the power piston it moves the buffer piston down in the bore of the power piston. The pressure at chamber (A) is more than the pressure at chamber (B). Chambers (A and B) are connected respectively to chambers above and below the pilot valve compensating land (10). The pressure difference felt by the pilot valve compensating land adds to the force of the speeder spring to move the pilot valve down and close the control ports. When the flow of oil from chamber (B) stops, so does the movement of the fuel control linkage.Hunting
There is a moment between the time the fuel control linkage stops its movement and the time the engine actually stops its increases or decrease of rpm. During this moment there is a change in two forces on the pilot valve, the pressure difference at the pilot valve compensating land and the axial force of the flyweights.The axial force of the flyweights changes until the engine stops its increase or decrease of rpm. The pressure difference at the pilot valve compensating land changes until the buffer piston returns to its original position. A needle valve (8) in a passage between chambers (A and B) controls the rate at which the pressure difference changes. The pressure difference makes compensation for the change in the axial force of the flyweights until the engine stops its increase or decrease of rpm. If the force on the pilot valve compensating land plus the axial force of the flyweights is not the same as the force of the speeder spring, the pilot valve will move. This movement is known as hunting (movement of the pilot valve that is not the result of a change in
