Proportional force amplifier

摘要

An apparatus for causing a low force input movement from a control rod to cause a corresponding movement in an output member by force amplification through hydraulic pressure. A piston is provided that has a greater pressure area on one side than on its other side. Orifice means are provided between a pressure chamber and a control chamber and between the control chamber and the reservoir such that as said second orifice means is varied, the piston will move until a null position is reached.
