An electrohydrostatic actuator, comprising an actuator for driving a component, a pump configured to pump hydraulic fluid for operation of the actuator, and a control valve for controlling passage of the hydraulic fluid between the actuator and the pump, wherein the control valve is movable between first and second positions. In the first position the control valve is configured to convey hydraulic fluid from the pump through the control valve for operation of the actuator, and in the second position the control valve is configured to fluidly disconnect the pump and the actuator, and circulate hydraulic fluid arriving from the pump back to the pump via a first constriction within the control valve.
