Electrohydraulic servo valves
Star Hydraulics Ltd - Stand: 8460
Star Hydraulics will be showcasing its electrohydraulic servo valve range featuring the company’s well-known sapphire technology and modernized EHSV components – a key component in all hydraulic automotive test rigs.
Electrohydraulic servo valves have been available for many decades, but for lots of users the earlier technology was associated with high running costs and downtime, due to weaknesses in valve design.
This was the catalyst for the birth of Star Hydraulics, which started business by offering service and repair of servo valves. It became very clear at the outset that there was a pattern of common malfunctions of existing servo valve designs, such as ‘ball glitch’, ‘inlet orifice erosion’, ‘inlet orifice release’ and ‘flexure sleeve fatigue’, which were all contributors to downtime as performance deteriorated.
These were key factors in the company’s re-engineering and remanufacturing program, which has been used on test rigs worldwide, where life extension and greater reliability have subsequently been achieved.
