Abstract
The paper discusses the characteristics of a flapper-nozzle system for water hydraulic servovalves. High pressure water at the supply port is first used as the working fluid for the hydrostatic bearings supporting the spool. Spool valve stiction induced by poor lubrication with water is thus avoided. The fluid is then led to the ends of the spool and is used as the working fllid of the flapper-nozzle system. In the new flapper-nozzle system the circumferential clearance of the spool becomes a laminar restriction that substitutes fixed orifice used in conventional servovalves. The linearity in the pressure-displacement relationship of the new flapper-nozzle system is better than that of conventional fixed orifice systems.
