The 8405-809 is a ProAct 75 electric actuator developed by Woodward Inc. for high-precision valve and linkage control in industrial turbine and engine systems.
This all-electric actuator replaces pneumatic or hydraulic actuation with a brushless DC motor-driven mechanism, providing faster response, higher positioning accuracy, and reduced maintenance requirements. It is commonly used in steam turbine bypass systems, engine governing, and critical process valve control, especially where high vibration and temperature exposure are expected.
