Governors for diesel in-line fuel-injection pumps

Mobility in this day and age is not least of all a question of common sense and economy. In future, the technology without which these considerations regarding individual mobility are meaningless will continue to be of decisive importance. In the automotive sector, economical and quiet-running diesel engines are making history. Bosch in-line and distributor injection pumps have played, and continue to play, a major role in these developments. The introduction of electronic controls (Electronic Diesel Control/ EDC), together with increased injection pressures and even more precise fuel metering, has made it possible to further increase the diesel engines service life, as well as reducing its exhaust-gas emissions, while at the same time even further improving its fuel-economy figures. In this Technical Instruction manual, from the Diesel Fuel Injection series, you have access to a wealth of information on a variety of governors for different in-line fuelinjection pumps. This includes details regarding their design and method of functioning, as well as interesting information concerning maximum-speed and intermediatespeed governing. The appropriate PE in-line fuelinjection pumps for the governors are described in the Technical Instruction manual Diesel in-line fuelinjection pumps PE. Governing Fuel-injection.

Governors for in-line fuel-injection pumps

Mechanical governing
The Bosch mechanical (flyweight) governors are mounted on the fuel-injection pump whose control rack is connected with the governor linkage. The governor control lever is the connection to the accelerator pedal.

Speed-sensing mechanisms
Mechanical governors use two different designs of speed-sensing mechanism: RQ, RQV: The governor springs are incorporated in the flyweights, whereby each flyweight acts directly on a spring set which is designed specifically for a given rated speed and for the corresponding speed droop. RSV, RS, RSF: The centrifugal force is applied through a system of levers to the governor spring which is located outside the two flyweights. The force from both flyweights presses the sliding bolt against the tensioning lever which is being pulled in the opposite direction by the governor spring. With the RSV variable-speed governor, the driver tensions the governor spring via the control lever to select the desired speed. With the RS and RSF minimum-maximum-speed governors, the governor spring is fixed at maximum speed and cannot be influenced by the driver.The governor springs for both forms of speed-sensing mechanism have been selected so that spring force and centrifugal force are mutually balanced at the desired speed. When this is exceeded, the centrifugal force from the flyweights increases. A linkage system then adjusts the control rack to provide a corresponding reduction in the delivery quantity.

move outwards due to centrifugal force, the bell cranks transform this (radial) movement into an axial movement at the sliding bolt. This axial movement is transferred to the so-called slider. The slider, which can only shift along a straight line due to its being held by the guide pin, provides the connection between the flyweight speed-sensing mechanism and the control rack by means of the variablefulcrum lever. There is a sliding block guide in the variable-fulcum lever, and the bottom end of the lever is held in the sliding block. The movable guide block is guided radially by the linkage lever which itself is connected with the control lever on the same shaft. The control lever is shifted either by hand or through linkage from the accelerator pedal (Figs. 2 and 3). When the position of the control lever is changed, the guide block is shifted and the fulcrum lever tilts around the pivot point at the slider. When the governor comes into effect, the guide block becomes the pivot point for the fulcrum lever. The action of the sliding-block guide and the guide block allows a variable lever ratio for the fulcrum lever. This arrangement ensures that enough force is always available to adjust the control rack, even in the low-idle range, in which the centrifugal forces exerted by the flyweights are still insufficient. The spring sets (governor springs) in the flyweights (Fig. 1) generally comprise
