The 8408-005 (8408-005) is a high-performance digital governor control unit designed for industrial turbines and engines. It provides precise speed regulation by processing frequency inputs from magnetic pickups or proximity sensors, delivering real-time control to actuators and fuel valves.
Engineered for mission-critical applications, the module leverages advanced digital PID algorithms to maintain stable rotational speed and reduce drift common in older analog systems. Its rugged construction ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

What is the primary benefit of the digital architecture?
Software-configurable PID dynamics allow fine-tuning to the engine or turbine’s inertia and response characteristics, reducing speed “hunting” and improving transient response.
Does the 8408-005 provide overspeed protection?
Yes. Integrated overspeed logic can automatically shut down fuel delivery or actuate a trip valve if rotational speed exceeds safety thresholds, adding a redundant safety layer.
