ABSTRACT:
An inherently fail-safe automatic remote-control and engine protection device of electromechanical/hydraulic assembly is supplied by engine lube oil and controlled by circuitry, acting on an existing non-included throttle or governor, especially in diesel generator standby applications, so as to enhance utility, engine reliability and longevity, all without engine modification. This assembly is a linear actuator, of few parts and no levers, basically comprised of a pull solenoid and a spring-return hydraulic cylinder contained within a guide tube which is held stationary. The solenoid armature is indirectly attached to one end of a cable and the engine governor is linked to the other end. The hydraulic cylinder's rod is rigidly attached to an actuator tube which is a sliding sleeve to the guide tube. The actuator tube itself is coupled to the cable such as to allow independent operation of said cable by solenoid, cylinder, or both.
