  • Flyweight speed sensor
    Patent number: 3945199
    Abstract: A load on the flyweight transmitted through the pilot valve to preload the thrust bearings of a speed sensor serves to prevent the fuel control for a turbine type of power plant from shifting to its emergency schedule from the starting or normal schedule or vice versa at an indeterminant speed. Thus, the preload assures that the transition from one schedule to the other always occurs at a predetermined compressor rotational speed.
