Universal Governor Experiment
Product Code : EL-DOMLE-10779
Universal Governor Experiment (code EL-DOMLE-10779) is a single-platform unit for studying the motion and function of Porter, Proell and Hartnell centrifugal governors. Each governor is locked from above onto a small DC motor flange with speed controller, running at up to 400 rpm, and the lift displacement is read from line marks on the governor shaft against speed on a digital display, behind a transparent guard.

What Is the Universal Governor Experiment Used For?
A centrifugal governor uses rotating masses that fly outwards as speed rises and so lift a sleeve; in an engine that sleeve movement adjusts the fuel or steam supply to hold the speed steady. The Porter and Proell are weight-loaded governors, while the Hartnell is spring-loaded. Students fit one governor to the motor flange, raise the speed in steps on the controller and read the lift from the shaft marks and the speed from the display, then plot speed against displacement for each governor to compare how the three types respond.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of governor units required.
- Power supply — 230 V 50 Hz, 230 V 60 Hz or 120 V 60 Hz single phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which governors are included?
One Porter, one Proell and one Hartnell governor are supplied, so the three types can be studied in turn on the same platform.
How is each governor driven?
The governor is placed and locked from above onto a small motor flange; the DC motor has a speed controller and runs at speeds up to 400 rpm.
How are lift and speed measured?
Lift displacement is read from line marks on the governor shaft and speed from the digital display, which together give the speed against displacement curve.
Which weights are supplied?
A set of weights is provided for the Porter and Proell governors, along with 1 lot of balancing weights.

What safety guard is fitted?
A transparent guard is provided for safety, so students can watch the governor rise and fall while it runs.
