Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a jet pipe-type servo valve wherein the feed tube is disposed angularly with respect to a flapper to which it is affixed and which is movable by a torque motor the armature of which is connected to the flapper. The feed tube has one end thereof affixed rigidly to the housing and the other end thereof terminating in a nozzle which is positioned adjacent a receiver. The output ports of the receiver are connected to the end chambers of a cylinder within which a power control valve is slidably positioned so as to control the flow of fluid under pressure from a source thereof to an apparatus to be positioned such as an actuator. The jet pipe stage and the power control valve stage are isolated from each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A jet pipe servovalve comprising: a housing having a body portion; a torque motor mounted on said body portion and including a movable member adapted for pivotal movement in response to electrical signals applied thereto, said member defining a first longitudinal axis; a feed tube mounted in said body portion, separate from said movable member, adapted to receive fluid under pressure, having a receiving end portion and an ejecting end portion and defining a second longitudinal axis, said second axis being angularly positioned with respect to said first axis and offset therefrom so that said axes do not intersect; means fixedly securing said receiving end portion of said feed tube to said body portion; flexible link means securing said feed tube to said member thereby to cause said ejection and portion of said feed tube to move responsive to pivotal movement of said member; receiver port means positioned adjacent said ejector end portion of said feed tube for receiving fluid ejected therefrom, said receiver port means being rotatable to effect adjustment; a control valve connected to receive fluid pressure from said receiver port means and to move responsively thereto to control the flow of fluid from a source thereof to a load; and means isolating the fluid in said control valve area from the fluid in said ejection-receiver port area.
