Abstract

Abstract A feedback apparatus for an automatic speed-governing system of a hydraulic turbine comprises a driving means which includes a control drum external of said turbine and having a cam-shaped control surface. The control drum is operatively connected with the servomotor of the system and is adapted for being linearly displaced relative to the servomotor, yet to be jointly rotated with the servomotor. The driving means comprises an output link and a distributing valve connected to the output link and which is adapted to direct pressurized control fluid into corresponding spaces of the servomotor. The operative connection between the control drum and the servomotor provides for a limited displacement of the control drum axially of said turbine in the course of the joint rotation of the control drum with the servomotor. An abutment system is carried on the turbine and against which the control drum is permanently biased. Also included is a sleeve constituting an intermediary link adjacent the control drum. A bearing system is provided for supporting the sleeve on the control drum for relative rotation therebetween. The sleeve is disposed for reciprocating motion axially of the turbine.
