P/N: 5484-875
PM MOTOR 24VDC 5 RPM
SPEED INCR: BLACK NEG(-), RED POS(+)
SPEED DECR: BLACK POS(+), RED NEG(-)
The Woodward 5484-875 is a permanent magnet (PM) DC motor operating at 24VDC with an output speed of 5 RPM, designed for precision actuation and positioning duties within marine control systems. Components of this type are typically employed in governor actuators, throttle controls, and automated control panels where accurate, low-speed rotary output is essential to engine and propulsion management. Reliable actuation at low RPM is critical to maintaining stable engine performance and safe vessel operation.
Key Features
✓ Permanent magnet DC motor rated at 24VDC with a precise 5 RPM output speed, providing controlled low-speed actuation suitable for governor and positioning applications.
✓ Bi-directional operation confirmed by polarity-defined wiring: speed increase with Black NEG(−) and Red POS(+); speed decrease with Black POS(+) and Red NEG(−), allowing straightforward integration into existing control circuits.
✓ Compatible with Woodward governor systems and marine control actuator assemblies; system-level compatibility should be confirmed against the specific panel or controller model prior to installation.
✓ Intended for installation within protected control enclosures or actuator housings; mounting configuration, environmental rating, and dimensional fit are subject to confirmation against the target installation.
✓ Suitable as a direct replacement component within Woodward actuator assemblies; sourcing by exact part number 5484-875 helps ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability, though verification against the original assembly is recommended.
Marine Applications
✓ Main engine governor actuator systems requiring precise low-speed rotary positioning for fuel rack or throttle control.
✓ Auxiliary engine control panels where automated speed regulation and load management depend on reliable DC motor actuation.
✓ Diesel-electric propulsion control systems integrating Woodward governors for speed and power management across multiple generating sets.
✓ Thruster control and dynamic positioning systems where accurate actuator response contributes to vessel station-keeping performance.
✓ Onboard automation and control retrofit projects where existing Woodward governor components require like-for-like motor replacement.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
Woodward PM motors are specified in demanding marine governor applications for their consistent torque characteristics at low RPM, well-defined wiring conventions, and established compatibility with Woodward actuation platforms, reducing integration risk during maintenance and overhaul.
Ideal For
Merchant vessels, offshore support vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, ferries, cruise ships, and any vessel class operating Woodward governor or engine control systems requiring reliable DC motor actuation.
Technical Support & Compliance
Remote troubleshooting guidance, installation advisory, commissioning support, and retrofit integration assistance are available to help confirm correct application of this motor within your control system. To verify compatibility and suitability for your installation — subject to confirmation — please share nameplate photographs, the assembly part number, relevant system drawings or schematics, the Woodward governor or actuator model and software version, and vessel name, IMO number, and scope of work where applicable.
