Woodward’s UG actuators offer the advantages of electronic control and load sharing systems while using the convenient, existing UG-type drives and linkages. The actuators provide the muscle for Woodward analog and digital electronic controls. The actuators can be used with diesel, gasoline, or natural gas engines, as well as with steam and industrial gas turbines. The actuators have a self-contained oil sump, so a separate oil supply is not required.
The UG actuator produces 20 J (15 ft-lb) of work over 42 degrees of rotary output.
