Product overviewThe Series 72 flow-control servovalves are throttle-style valves for 3- and preferentially 4-way applications. They feature a two-stage design covering a rated flow range of 95 to 225 l/min (25 to 60 gpm) at 35 bar (500 psi) valve pressure drop per spool land. The output stage is a closed 4-way spool. The pilot stage is a symmetric double-nozzle-and-flapper driven by a dry torque motor with double air gap. Mechanical feedback of spool position is provided by a cantilever spring.
Features- Two-stage flow-control servovalve with mechanical feedback (MFB)
- Low-friction double-nozzle pilot stage for high dynamics, high resolution and low hysteresis
- High coil drive forces and robust construction for long service life
- Dry torque motor
- Optional fifth port for separate pilot supply
- Models available with or without filter
- Field-replaceable first-stage filter for simplified maintenance
