Product Description
Woodward 8404-201 Actuator
Product Overview
- The Woodward 8404-201 is an electrically powered actuator, part of Woodward__ actuator family designed for precise control of engine or turbine fuel systems in industrial applications such as power generation, marine propulsion, and industrial processes. This actuator is typically used with Woodward__ electronic governors or control systems (e.g., 2301D, ProAct, or 723PLUS series) to regulate fuel or air flow for diesel, gas, or dual-fuel engines, or small turbines. The 8404-201 provides reliable and responsive positioning with a robust design suitable for demanding environments. It is distinct from Woodward__ digital control systems (e.g., 8273-1011, 8200-1300), Peak150 series (e.g., 8200-176), ProAct series controls (e.g., 8237-2595), and other actuators like the EPG series (e.g., 8290-195), focusing specifically on actuation for precise throttle or valve control.
