Product Overview
The BURKERT 8605 (Part No. 00178356) is a compact PWM control electronics module engineered by Bürkert for precise, closed-loop regulation of proportional valves and electromagnetic actuators within industrial fluid control systems. Operating on pulse-width modulation (PWM) principles, this drive and control unit delivers a stabilized, current-regulated output signal that compensates for coil temperature drift and supply voltage fluctuations, ensuring repeatable valve positioning and consistent flow or pressure control. As a DIN-rail or block-mountable automation component, the 8605 integrates seamlessly into process control cabinets, providing a reliable interface between higher-level PLC/controller signals and the final hydraulic or pneumatic actuating element.
