Assembly / Torque Motor Function of Electro-Mechanical Amplifier

Charged permanent magnets polarize the pole pieces DC current in coils causes increased force in diagonally opposite air gaps
N N S N S S coil flux

Magnetic charge level sets magnitude of decentering force gradient on armature

Assembly / Torque Motor Function of the Hydraulic Amplifier

FROM SPOOL END

RETURN ORIFICE

TO SPOOL END

Armature and flapper rigidly joined and supported by thin-wall flexure sleeve.

Fluid continuously flows from pressure Ps, through both inlet orifices, via the nozzles into the flapper chamber and finally through the drain orifice to tank T.

Rotary motion of armature / flapper throttles flow through one nozzle or the other This diverts flow to one end of the spool

Function MFB Valve

Null Position:
Null current is supplied to the coils of the Torque Motor and the motor stand in his middle position. The gabs between the right-and-left nozzle are the same. Due to the same gabs the pressure on both spool ends is symmetric. The Spool of the main stage is also located in middle position. Port A and B are closed

bent feedback wire

Movement of spool

Operating:
If an input signal is applied the Torque Motor will pull out, therefore the gab between the right-and-left nozzle will change and a different pressure will arise at both sites of the spool. Due to the Delta P on the spool ends the spool will move. Thus the feedback wire will bent according to the displacement of a spool. The Ports P to A and the Port B to T will open and oil will flow through the BSA of the main stage.

Function MFB Valve

Position reached:
As feedback torque becomes equal to torque from the magnetic forces, the Flapper moves back to centered position. Then the gab between the Nozzles and the Flapper and the pressure at both spool ends will be the same. The spool stops at the position where the torque of the feedback spring is alike the torque induced by the applied current to the coil.

External Pilot supply

Use of External 5 Port The Pilotstage (Torque Motor) can be separatly supplied from the mainstage. Advantages of the fifth Port Increasing the danymic and the spool control force due to a higher pilotspressure.

Additional filtration for Piltostage possible. For Failsafe condition the Pilotstage can be controlled by an external solinoid valve.
