About the Book
Servo valves were developed in the late 1930s as a high-tech, high-performance, but high-cost solution to motion control requirements. A servo valve uses a torque motor to place its spool at the desired position. It is used mainly for closed-loop control of position, speed, or force. High-performance closed-loop servo valve technology has become the norm in machine automation, where the requirements are greater precision, faster operation, and more straightforward adjustments.
This book explores the technology used in state-of-the-art servo valves. It also describes the construction of electrohydraulic servo valve systems, the details of various types of control elements, and the characteristics of servo valve systems.
