Barber-Colman

Drake Controls supports the installed base of Barber-Colman engine governors and controls, often searched as “Barber Coleman.” Woodward acquired Barber-Colman Dyna Products in 2003 and continues many of the products under the APECS line; for units that have gone obsolete, we quote current Woodward replacements and retrofit paths.

Barber-Colman Dyna Products was acquired by Woodward in August of 2003. Barber-Colman Dyna Products manufactured engine actuators, speed controls, generator set controls, and off-highway engine control systems. Woodward has continued to manufacture many of Barber-Colman products, now under the APECS (Advanced Proportional Engine Controls System) product line name. The APECS (Advanced Proportional Engine Controls System) digital governor system provides the flexibility to solve most engine control applications, including:
  • Power Generation
