Description

Woodward TG-17ED8516-053

Technical Specifications

  • Model: TG-17ED.
  • Part Number: 8516-053.
  • Control Type: Electro-hydraulic with self-contained oil.

Functional Features

  • Custom Calibration: Factory-configured to match the exact hydraulic and mechanical parameters of the target steam turbine.
  • Digital Integration: Optimized for use with Woodward MicroNet, 505, or similar digital control platforms.
  • Enhanced Diagnostics: Provides electronic feedback on actuator position and system health.

Application Scenarios
Deployed in turbine modernization projects where upgrading to digital control requires a direct mechanical replacement for legacy TG-17 or PG series governors.

Performance Parameters

  • Positioning Accuracy: High-resolution electronic feedback ensures precise valve positioning.
  • Dynamic Response: Fast-acting servo valve for rapid load acceptance and rejection.

Material Composition
Industrial-grade electro-hydraulic components, robust housing, and high-integrity seals for leak-free operation.

Structural Characteristics

  • Direct Retrofit: Mechanical mounting and linkage interface matches the 8516-053 specification.
  • Integrated Electronics: Position transducer and servo amplifier housed within the actuator assembly.

Working Principle
The digital controller calculates the required valve position and sends a command to the TG-17ED. The internal servo valve directs self-contained hydraulic oil to move the piston to the exact position, continuously verifying the position via the internal feedback transducer.

Installation Requirements
Follow the specific wiring diagram for the 8516-053 configuration. Ensure mechanical linkage is correctly adjusted to match the actuator’s stroke limits.

Precautions for Use
Never apply power before verifying all mechanical connections and linkage clearances. Perform a full stroke calibration via the digital controller after installation.
