U.S.A
The Woodward 2301A Forward Acting Speed Control (Part No. 9907-014, Revision J) is a dedicated electronic governor control unit designed to regulate and maintain engine speed with precision in demanding marine environments. Part of Woodward’s well-established 2301A control series, this unit operates as a forward-acting controller, providing stable and responsive governing for diesel or gas engines where consistent speed management is critical to safe and efficient vessel operation. As a core component within the Marine Control System category, it plays a central role in propulsion and auxiliary engine management onboard ships.
Key Features
✓ Forward-acting speed control function ensures stable engine governing with responsive load and speed correction typical of the Woodward 2301A platform.
✓ Specific electrical ratings and input/output configurations are subject to confirmation based on vessel installation requirements and system setup.
✓ Designed for compatibility within the Woodward 2301A governor control ecosystem, working alongside actuators, speed sensors, and related governing components.
✓ Suitable for installation in protected machinery control enclosures; mounting configuration and environmental ratings depend on the specific panel or housing used onboard.
✓ Revision J designation indicates a defined product iteration — engineers sourcing replacements should verify revision compatibility with the existing control system before installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Main propulsion engine speed governing on merchant vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers requiring precise RPM control.
✓ Auxiliary diesel generator sets where stable frequency and speed regulation is essential to shipboard power quality.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels utilising automated engine management systems.
✓ Harbour tugs and workboats where responsive engine control under variable load conditions is operationally critical.
✓ Integrated machinery control systems on naval auxiliaries and large passenger vessels requiring reliable governor performance.
