Prop Governors
Prop Governors
(OP)
I am working on a PSRU (prop speed reduction unit) design for an auto conversion; am having no luck finding specs for the ADN 20010 governor flange and ARP 880 prop flange. Also, can anybody offer help with flow rates and pressures for a "typical" feathering, reversing prop governor ? This is the last piece of this puzzle so I am a bit desperate. This PSRU thing (esp. for a 500 cont. SHP recip !) ain't as easy as it looks...
Thanks in advance,

Cap. is 5-12 QPM ,, I would be happy to help but we have to know the size prop you will be spinning.

Some of the Subaru conversions I have looked at are excellent - some are crap. The reduction IS the key, and a belt or planetary gear seems appropriate for that HP class. Belts have fewer issues with torsional vibration, which is the "killer issue" with ANY auto conversion. So be CAREFUL out there !
