1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides instructions and procedures necessary
to install, operate and troubleshoot the Moog Inc. Series 79-100 Industrial
Servovalve. Loop closure of the third stage spool requires external electronics –
consult factory for suggested Moog electronics model numbers.
2. OPERATION
The Moog Inc. Series 79-100 Industrial Servovalve consists of a two stage
mechanical feedback pilot valve and a high flow third stage with electrical
feedback. Proper operation requires the use of user provided electronics to
condition the spool position transducer, compare actual spool position to
command and to generate a current signal to the pilot valve.
In a typical system, a spool position command signal is compared to the
actual spool position signal in the servoamplifier.The error (difference) is
converted to a current signal and used to drive the pilot valve spool in the
proper direction.The pilot valve spool directs oil flow to one end of the third
stage spool, moving the spool. Spool movement is sensed by the spool position
transducer and spool motion continues until the spool position signal is equal
to the command signal.At this point, the servoamplifier current returns to near
zero, the pilot valve returns to null and the third stage spool is held in position.
