Product Overview
Moves the engine governor/throttle linkage in response to machine control commands. Cat describes both 247-5227 and 4I-5496 as governor control motors, making “throttle motor” useful buyer language but governor control the more precise component identity.
Loss of throttle response, inability to reach commanded engine speed, hunting or a motor that does not sweep the cables can indicate a failed actuator. Cable binding and control-signal problems should be ruled out before replacement.
