SERVO VALVE
A SERVO VALVE IS A DIRECTIONAL VALVE
IT MAY BE INFINITELY POSITIONED TO PROVIDE
CONTROL OF BOTH THE
AMOUNT AND THE DIRECTION OF FLUID FLOW.
A SERVO VALVE COUPLED WITH PROPER
FEEDBACK SENSING DEVICES PROVIDES VERY
ACCURATE CONTROL OF THE POSITION,
VELOCITY OR ACCELERATION OF AN ACTUATOR

PROPORTIONAL VALVES & SERVO VALVES
Closed Loop Circuit :
According to the requirement of speed or position or pressure ,
input signal is given and compared with output value through a
sensor and necessary adjustments are made.
Input signal and output values are compared and differences are
corrected. This gives high accuracy & high Response
( Feed back Control System )

Rated flow same as
Conventional valve for
Pr. Control & flow control
Valve.
For Dir. Control depends
on accuracy and
frequency response.
Rated flow gives flow at
10 ~ 30 Kg/Cm2 pr. Diff.
To get high frequency
response, high pressure
response should be
given.
Generally 70 Kg/Cm2 of
pres. Diff. Is given.
Rated flow indicates flow
at pr. drop of 70 Kgf /Cm2
Take care about power
loss & heat generation.
