<p>A rotary control valve for an automotive power steering system and a method for making such a valve. The valve includes a tubular valve body and a spool valve member rotatable within the valve body, each of the valve body and spool valve having axially extending grooves. The spool valve member includes control edges formed at the axial grooves to effect control of the area of an opening defined by the edges of the axial grooves of the spool member and the axial grooves of the valve body. The control edges extend parallel to the axial grooves of the spool valve member along substantially the entire length thereof and are defined by at least one arcuate surface portion formed on the spool valve member at axially extending edges of the grooves. The arcuate surface portion has an axis that extends parallel to the axial grooves of the spool valve member.</p> |
