Universal Governor Apparatus



SPECIFICATION

Key features –
The Universal Governor Apparatus is a motorized laboratory test rig designed to demonstrate
the operational principles of various centrifugal governors, including Watt, Porter, Proell, and
Hartnell types. It measures speed, sleeve lift, and controlling force to analyze governor
sensitivity, stability, and speed regulation under varying loads

  • Geometry and operation of a Porter, Proell and Hartnell governor
  • To observe the lift off speed of the three different types of governor
  • To observe the effect of varying sleeve weight or spring force on the operation of a governor
  • To observe the stability of a governor
  • To compare actual results with calculated theoretical values
