Abstract
Abstract A hydraulic servo-motor for the control of an internal combustion engine which is equipped with a servo-piston, with a fuel quantity control mechanism and with a control slide valve member arranged coaxially to the servo-piston which itself is in operative connection with a centrifugal governor; a working medium under pressure is supplied by a pump driven directly or indirectly by the internal combustion engine; an auxiliary piston arranged coaxially to the servo-piston and to the control slide valve member is acted upon by the pressure of the working medium and permits in case of an existing pressure of the working medium, a stroke of the control slide valve member in one direction which is limited by the servo-piston and a stroke of the control piston in the other direction which is limited by the auxiliary piston; a spring supported at the servo-piston acts on the auxiliary piston opposite the pressure of the working medium and clamps together the control slide valve member and the servo-piston in case of absence of pressure in the working medium.
