The effect of a variant drain orifice damping on the characteristics of a servovalve flapper-nozzle stage is analyzed. Steady-state characteristics of flapper-nozzle stage and the linearized dynamics of flapper-nozzle assembly with a spool valve show that the variant drain orifice damping could improve such null performance characteristics as null pressure sensitivity and linearity of gain function. Generalized design criterion and a sufficient condition for servovalve stability are also established.

This paper presents the performance improvement of a Nozzle/Ball type servovalve with variant drain orifice. First of all, the configuration of the novel servovalve is proposed. Then, the static characteristics are investigated under blocked load condition, and its dynamic characteristics are analyzed by using the linearized flow-pressure relationship. Finally, the performance at the null condition of the proposed servovalve is numerically evaluated through the comparison study with the convention at counterparts.
