The Woodward EM-80/EM-300 MDS 5150A/LIT Actuator System provides a robust, all-electric solution for the control of large prime movers. By offering two distinct models, Woodward caters to the diverse needs of the industry: the EM-80 for applications demanding high-speed response and the EM-300 for those requiring high torque output. Both systems share a common architecture of a brushless AC motor, precision planetary gearbox, and a programmable digital driver, ensuring reliability and precision.
Compliance with major maritime classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, RMRS) and rigorous environmental testing (shock, vibration, humidity) makes these actuators suitable for the harshest environments found on ships and offshore platforms. The elimination of hydraulic oil not only simplifies the maintenance schedule but also eliminates a significant environmental hazard. Whether applied to a large diesel generator set or a steam turbine governor, the EM-80/EM-300 series stands as a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern rotary actuation needs.
In the realm of industrial prime movers, the transition from hydraulic and mechanical actuation to high-performance electric actuation represents a significant leap in control precision and reliability. The Woodward EM-80 and EM-300 actuator systems stand at the forefront of this evolution. Designed as all-electric solutions for large diesel, gas, and gasoline engines, as well as various turbine types, these systems provide precise, high-torque rotary positioning without the complexities associated with mechanical drives or hydraulic oil supplies. By eliminating the need for hydraulic pumps, hoses, and oil reservoirs, the EM-80/EM-300 systems significantly reduce environmental contamination risks and maintenance overhead while delivering superior control over fuel racks, fuel valves, and variable geometry turbochargers.
Woodward Vertex is an integrated control and protection system designed specifically for industrial axial/centrifugal compressors. It supports single redundancy/dual redundancy architectures and integrates three core functions: anti surge control (1-2 loop cycles), performance control, and load distribution (up to 5 units). It has an 8-inch graphical operation panel, multiple communication interfaces (Ethernet, CAN, Modbus, etc.), expandable I/O (through RTCNet module), and hazardous environment certification (ATEX, CSA, etc.). The operating temperature range is -30~70 ℃, and it can achieve full process control of compressor startup, operation, and shutdown. At the same time, it provides protection such as surge detection/recovery and fault alarm. It is suitable for compressor scenarios driven by motors or turbines, and has both usability and safety. High reliability.
The Woodward Vertex compressor control system is a comprehensive and highly reliable industrial grade control platform. Its modular design, powerful communication capabilities, and flexible configurability make it suitable for the control and protection needs of various compressors. Through reasonable installation, standardized wiring, and correct operation and maintenance, this system can effectively improve the operational efficiency, safety, and stability of compressors, and is suitable for multiple industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical, natural gas, and refrigeration.
