Question 1 of 270705eccefa1bacbc34ba4d476f3

Which of the following devices is common to both mechanical and hydraulic governors?

Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following devices is common to both mechanical and hydraulic governors?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed-sensing element in a governor • Difference between mechanical and hydraulic power to move the fuel rack • Basic parts that almost all centrifugal governors must have

💭 Think About

• First, think about what part actually senses a change in engine speed and starts the control action. Which option best matches that function? • Next, consider which options are more typical of a purely hydraulic system (using oil pressure) versus a simple mechanical linkage. • Ask yourself: if you stripped the governor down to the minimum needed to sense and react to speed change, which listed device would still have to be there in BOTH types?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which item is the primary speed-sensing device in a governor assembly. • Identify which items are mainly associated with hydraulic amplification rather than basic speed sensing. • Check which component is present in nearly all centrifugal governors, regardless of whether they are mechanical or hydraulic.
