Engine Speed Control Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/ETC/04) is a speed-regulation trainer used to show the problems of controlling rotating machines, especially non-linear control systems, in engineering laboratories. It uses a scale-model engine driven by compressed air for safety, a motorised valve that sets engine speed, and a d.c. generator that loads the engine output. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, produces it at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The basic purpose is to adjust the motorised valve so the engine holds a set speed while the d.c. generator loads it. Valves and air-driven engines seldom respond in a straight line, so students meet non-linear behaviour directly and learn why a controller tuned at one operating point may struggle at another.
Advanced sessions use dither signals to compensate for non-linearity, compare single-loop control with multiple-loop and minor-loop structures, build a model from step-response data and design P+I controllers with root-locus methods. Running the model engine on compressed air rather than fuel keeps the exercise safe for teaching, which makes it a practical addition to engineering lab equipment for mechanical, automotive and control courses.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — known to customers as ScienceLab — is the OEM for the Engine Speed Control Apparatus and builds it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Engineering colleges, training centres, dealers and importers order directly from the company that makes it, so quotations, repeat orders and spare-part questions are all handled at source.

Is compressed air supplied with the Engine Speed Control Apparatus?
No. The Engine Speed Control Apparatus runs its scale-model engine on compressed air for safety, but the compressed air is not supplied. Your laboratory needs its own air source; discuss the requirement with us when you enquire.
How is the engine loaded on the Engine Speed Control Apparatus?
A d.c. generator connects to the engine output of the Engine Speed Control Apparatus and loads the engine, so students can test how well their controller holds speed when the load changes.
Which advanced experiments can be run on the Engine Speed Control Apparatus?
Advanced experiments on the Engine Speed Control Apparatus include non-linearity compensation using dither signals, multiple-loop and minor-loop control, system modelling from step response information, and P+I control with root locus methods.
What sets the engine speed on the Engine Speed Control Apparatus?
Engine speed on the Engine Speed Control Apparatus is set by a motorised valve. Adjusting the valve changes the air reaching the scale-model engine, and the control task is to regulate speed while the generator applies load.
Who manufactures the Engine Speed Control Apparatus?
The Engine Speed Control Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions and trade buyers.
Is a calibration certificate available with the Engine Speed Control Apparatus?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Engine Speed Control Apparatus should be discussed with us at the enquiry stage. Mention the requirement in your request through our contact page so it can be addressed in the quotation.
