ServoJet / Motor Operation

An armature/jet pipe assembly is mounted on two rods. The single jet sprays between two holes in the receiver. An electrical command is applied to the torque motor coil and creates a induced magnetic force which is superposed to the permanent magnetic flux. This causes deflection of the armature/jet assembly. The deflection of the jet pipe is proportional to the input current which is applied.

ServoJet / Advantages
Advantages of the of ServoJet Pilotstage
High Resistance against contamination due to increase gab between Receiver and Jet

Gap between Jet and Receiver is 0,3 -0,4 mm

The recommended fluid cleanliness class for all D660 valves per ISO 4406 is <16/13 for normal operation, and <14/11 for longer life.

EFB Pilotstage

The selection of ServoJet, 2 stage Servovalve or Mini DDV depends on the application and the specified features.

The JetPipe stage will only be used at Explosion Protected Valves according ATEX 95 // 94/9/EU

Non-contacting position transducer (Iron Core and LVDT) and valve electronic for the evaluation of the LVDT Signal

Principle function of electrical Feedback system
2 Secondary coils
Demodulator 0V

Iron Core Primary coil

Spool in middle Position Modulator

The primary coil is supplied with AC Voltage. Due to the iron core a changing magnetically field will be generated. This changing magnetically field induces in both secondary coils a voltage Both secondary coils are mutual connected together. Therfore, if the iron core is positoned in middle, the induced voltage in both coils will cancal each other out.

Iron Core Primary coil

Spool in end position Modulator

If the iron core moved out of the middle position, the induced voltage in one secondary coil will encrease and in the other one the induced voltage will decrease. Due to the diffent level of the induced voltage, a AC output voltage will arise. The value of the voltage is proportional to the spool stoke. The sign +/- will show the direction. The AC signal at the input of the demodulator will be converted into a +/- DC Signal

Because of the different signal of U I-sig and U pt the amplifier of the contoller board will provide the pilotstage with the maximum current. The Pilotstage will deflect and generate a Delta P on the two ends of the spool.

Due to the Delta P at the end side of the spool, the spool will move into the direction with the lower Pressure.

The land open and the medium will flow over the opened lands. The controler permenently compare U I-sig and U pt . If the two signals come closer, the amplifier will reduce the current to the Pilotstage and the pilotstage deflect back into the null direction.

The contoller board will control the pilotstage back into its null position. Therfore there will be no Delta P at the two ends of the spool anymore, so the spool will stop moving. Every distribution which try to change the position of the spool will be permanently compensate by the controller board.

EFB Failsafe Mechnismen Moog Proportional valves are available with several Failsafemechanismen

Attention : Depending on demanded safety standard, a simple failsafe protection due to the in Moog valve intergrated failsafe systems, does mostly not suffice. For the protection of plants and machines against accidents, the goverments demands repeatedly, redundant safety Failsafesystemes.
