Woodward 9907-1350

Woodward V45TD series actuators are highly regarded for their robust design, high precision, and fast response, making them indispensable in demanding industrial applications. The 9907-1350 is engineered to act as the direct interface between a digital control system (like a Woodward MicroNet or 505 controller) and the mechanical elements it needs to manipulate, such as fuel valves, steam admission valves, or inlet guide vanes in a turbine.

Key characteristics of this V45TD actuator configuration include:

  • Precise Electro-Hydraulic Control: It translates an electrical demand signal from a governor into proportional hydraulic pressure, which then drives the actuator’s piston to a precise position. This ensures accurate regulation of the controlled device.
  • Double-Acting Operation: Unlike single-acting actuators that rely on a spring for return, the double-acting design allows for active hydraulic control in both directions, providing greater control stiffness and responsiveness.
  • Robust Construction: Built to withstand the harsh conditions often found in power generation and industrial processing environments, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
  • Hazardous Area Compatibility: The ATEX compliance (implied by the “MURXM” designation) means it meets European Union safety directives for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as those found in oil & gas facilities or chemical plants.
  • Manual Shutdown Feature: The “M” in MURXM often indicates a mechanical manual shutdown capability, providing an additional layer of safety for operators to physically intervene and shut down the controlled device.
  • Quick Response: The design enables rapid and accurate movement of the controlled device, which is crucial for maintaining stable speed, load, or process parameters under dynamic operating conditions.

Woodward 9907-1350

 

The Woodward 9907-1350 is a specific part number for a V45TD series electro-hydraulic actuator. This type of actuator is a vital component in industrial control systems, particularly for turbines, where it converts electrical signals from a governor or controller into precise mechanical movement to regulate critical parameters.


 

Product Overview

 

  • Product Type: Electro-Hydraulic Actuator
  • Manufacturer: Woodward
  • Actuator Series: V45TD
  • Specific Model: V45TD-1010-MURXM-X-S-X (This specific model information is crucial for precise identification.)
  • Operation: Double Acting (meaning it uses hydraulic pressure to drive movement in both extend and retract directions, offering precise control).
  • Stroke/Travel: The “1010” in the model number typically indicates a 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) stroke, and a specific work output.
  • Environmental Rating: The “MURXM” suffix often denotes specific mounting, electrical connections, and importantly, ATEX compliance for use in hazardous (potentially explosive) environments. This configuration typically also includes a mechanical manual shutdown.
  • Input Signal: Typically accepts an analog command signal (e.g., 4-20 mA or 0-5 Vdc) from an electronic controller.

Applications

 

The Woodward 9907-1350 (V45TD-1010-MURXM-X-S-X Actuator) is typically used in critical control loops for:

  • Gas Turbines: Precisely controlling fuel gas or liquid fuel valves, compressor inlet guide vanes, or exhaust guide vanes to manage turbine speed, power output, and emissions.
  • Steam Turbines: Actuating steam admission valves, extraction valves, or other steam flow control elements for speed and load regulation in power plants.
  • Industrial Compressors and Pumps: Regulating the flow or speed in systems driven by turbines or large engines, where precise control is paramount.
  • Power Generation: Essential for the accurate and responsive control of turbine-generator sets to ensure stable and efficient electricity production, especially where a mechanical shutdown option is desired.
