Governor Apparatus | ProDynami 1264
Governor Apparatus ProDynami 1264 studies the performance of Porter, Proell and Hartnell centrifugal governors. This Governor Apparatus uses a DC drive motor with electronically regulated, digitally displayed speed control via a 10-turn potentiometer. Load is adjusted by weights on the Porter and Proell governors, or by spring stress on the Hartnell governor, with stroke measured using marks on the governor shaft. A transparent protective lid ensures safe operation on this bench top unit.
The Governor Apparatus ProDynami 1264 is designed to study the performance of different types of governors. This Governor Apparatus demonstrates the principle of operation of various centrifugal force governors, including the Porter, Proell and Hartnell governors.
Product Overview
The Governor Apparatus ProDynami 1264 consists of three different types of governors: Porter governor, Proell governor, and Hartnell governor. The load can be changed on the Porter and Proell governors by placing or removing weights. For the Hartnell governor, load is changed by altering the stress on the spring. The rotational speed of the governor is controlled via a speed control knob. The drive, with an electronically regulated motor, is fitted in the housing. Speed is continuously adjusted using a 10-turn potentiometer and displayed digitally. The governor is placed in a chuck on the drive. The centrifugal masses and sleeve forces can be varied using the accessories included. The stroke can be measured using the marks on the governor shaft. When in operation, a transparent protective lid covers the rotating centrifugal governor. The unit is simply placed on a table in the laboratory for operation. It only requires a supply of power. This Governor Apparatus is a bench top unit used to demonstrate governor behavior under varying load and speed conditions.

Construction and Design
The Governor Apparatus ProDynami 1264 consists of three different types of governors: Porter, Proell and Hartnell. The load can be changed on the Porter and Proell governors by placing or removing weights. For the Hartnell governor, load is changed by altering the stress on the spring. The rotational speed of the governor is controlled via a speed control knob. The drive, with an electronically regulated motor, is fitted in the housing. Speed is continuously adjusted using a 10-turn potentiometer and displayed digitally. The governor is placed in a chuck on the drive. Centrifugal masses and sleeve forces can be varied using the accessories included. The stroke can be measured using the marks on the governor shaft. A transparent protective lid covers the rotating centrifugal governor during operation. The unit is simply placed on a table in the laboratory for operation and requires only a supply of power. This construction allows the Governor Apparatus to demonstrate the principle of operation of Porter, Proell and Hartnell centrifugal force governors safely and accurately.
