FLOW CONTROL SERVO DEVICE FOR A HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION, PARTICULARLY FOR VEHICLE SERVO STEERING

摘要

The device comprises a pilot slide (27) controlled by a pressure differential (P-P') determined by an electromagnetic pilot valve element (43) located in a return circuit to a tank (7) which is common to both the hydraulic installation and a branch pipe (8). The device preferably includes an isolating valve (40) connected to the pilot valve element (43) so as to isolate a pilot chamber (30) in the event of a failure of the electromagnetic actuator.
