A low friction servo valve having a housing which contains therein an input shaft, a pair of slidably mounted valve spools and an actuator. Mechanical input is received by the input shaft in order to provide rotational displacement thereof. This displacement is transferred to a flapper portion on the input shaft which operates in conjunction with a pair of jet nozzles. Movement of the flapper causes pressure buildup in one of the jet nozzles which in turn causes sequential movement of the pair of valve spools to take place. Operation of the actuator is dependent upon movement of one of the valve spools, with this valve spool also being connected to the input shaft for assisting in the rotational displacement thereof as well as being connected to a feedback spring which forces the flapper to assume its neutral position thereby reducing the pressure buildup in one of the jet nozzles.
