Specifications
Introduction
Static Performance Specifications
Values are typical for Series 256 Servovalves operated at the recommended
hydraulic fluid filtration levels.
Dynamic Performance Specifications
The dynamic data is derived from typical Model 256 Servovalve driven with a
valve controller with “rate” compensation. A constant amplitude sine wave was
used as the input signal to the valve controller. The amplitude was plus-or-minus
the main stage, full-stroke, and LVDT voltage.
