Woodward 9700-5384-02 Actuator Driver Module

Product Brief Description

The Woodward 9700-5384-02 is a precision actuator drive module for turbine and engine governor control systems. It receives command signals from the main controller and outputs regulated drive current to position the fuel or steam control actuator, maintaining accurate speed and load regulation for prime movers. It is widely used as a spare part for Woodward industrial control retrofits and maintenance.

Product Features

• Precision current output to drive proportional hydraulic or electric actuators
• High resolution closed-loop drive for stable fuel valve positioning
• Built-in short circuit, overcurrent and fault detection protection
• Analog feedback signal for position monitoring to the main governor
• Strong EMC noise immunity for power generation and engine room environments
• Rugged compact PCB assembly, easy rack mounting and replacement
• Compatible with matched Woodward governor control platforms
• Supports continuous operation under heavy-duty industrial conditions

Application Scenarios

• Gas turbine, steam turbine and diesel engine speed governing systems
• Generator set prime mover control and load sharing applications
• Oil & gas compressor and engine package control panels
• Industrial power plant, cogeneration and emergency power units
• Valve actuator control for fuel, gas and steam regulation
• Retrofit and spare replacement for existing Woodward control systems
