Power Assemblies
One of PowerRail Engine Systems’ key product lines is the power assembly. Its complete line of premium new and remanufactured power assemblies, HLPs, cylinder heads and other related parts are machined and assembled in the United States. All raw materials undergo extensive testing to ensure they meet or exceed current OEM specifications.
Before shipment, each power assembly undergoes a 39-point inspection and documentation to ensure quality conformance. All water jackets are thoroughly inspected via bore scope to ensure no debris or casting sand remains. State of the art casting techniques are used to reduce porosity and maintain adequate coolant flow.
Governors
Another of PowerRail Engine Systems’ popular product lines is their Woodward certified governors. Woodward governors provide proven reliability that improve the life of the Unit and reduce unplanned downtime.
With PowerRail Engine Systems’ governors, the highest quality standards and requirements are factory audited, ensuring strict compliance. Only genuine Woodward parts and certified, calibrated tools and test stands are used. A complete disassembly, bench inspection, comprehensive cleaning, reassembly and testing to OEM specifications occurs with each governor to ensure Woodward requirements are met.
