Abstract: A powered rotary grinder including a vane-type fluid motor having a rotor supported within a housing. Pressurized fluid is admitted to the motor through a control valve to drive the rotor. A pivoted lever is engageable with the control valve and is actuated by flyweights attached to the rotor to regulate the speed of the rotor. The control valve includes normally latched, stored energy means which, when released, slams the control valve completely shut to cut off flow of pressurized fluid to the motor. A centrifugally actuated weight or weights interconnected with the rotor are operable to release the latched stored energy means should the rotor overspeed and the regulator fail to operate. In one embodiment, the weights include interengaged means which require that all the weights move radially outwardly of the rotor conjointly to effect release of the latched, stored energy means. This interengaged means insures that only centrifugal force can move the weights and that they cannot accidentally or unintentionally move to effect release of the stored energy means in the event, for example, the grinder is dropped or is otherwise struck with a sharp blow.
