DESCRIPTION KVF Flow Control Servovalve (FCS) Issued: February 004 The KVF Flow Control Servovalve is a precision servovalve that provides an output flow rate proportional to a low power electrical input signal. It features a torque motor-actuated, double-nozzle flapper pressure control pilot valve mated to a pressure-actuated, spring-centered boost valve module of a unique double-spool configuration. The design of this servovalve does not require a centering feedback spring and ball for spool position. The servovalve's pilot stage is a stand-alone, closed loop pressure control valve which uses internal hydraulic pressure reactions to achieve its closed loop control characteristics. This combination was selected to provide fabrication economies resulting in true servovalve performance at proportional valve pricing. The KVF Servovalve's steady state/dynamic response characteristics are compatible with industrial feedback control system applications. FEATURES Self-contained pressure feedback, eliminates requirement for feedback spring and ball for spool position ISO 4406 filtration rating of 8/5 (Nominal 0 micron filtering provides dependable performance) Standard manual operator assists with operation and system diagnostics Requires low power dc current to drive rated flow; ±0 ma, ±40 ma, ±00 ma, ±50 ma, or ±0 ma, are standard options. The ±0 ma, can be driven directly from PLC. Does not require PWM drive for dither but is directly compatible with other drives 4 to 0 ma version is configured such that 4 ma = 0 flow and 0 ma = maximum flow Unique two spool main body design allows for factory adjustment of null pressures at each working port Units available in standard line-to-line or overlapped configuration in all flows from /4 gpm to 0 gpm at no additional cost Installation dimensions common to all servovalves Pricing is independent of flow capability Four connector option: MS, -pin WP, 4-pin WP, or - pin WP Easily connected for unidirectional use from / gpm to 5 gpm at 000 psi rating Adaption maniflods available for conversion to other valve patterns Dual spool design provides added safety shut down if contamination causes failure of either spool Capability of separating control source from main stage supply to accommodate high back pressure applications ORDERING INFORMATION Device Identity Rev Supply Pressure Flow Rating % Lap Split Pilot Stage KVF X X X X X Ordering specifications for standard models.

TECHNICAL DATA Electric current in torque motor coil creates a magnetic torque on armature Armature/flapper rotates about torsion pivot Flapper repositions towards one nozzle, which creates a differential pressure between P and P Each spool moves in the same direction opening the supply )Ps) to output (C or C) on one spool and the output (C or C) to return (PT) on the other spool Differential pressure between P and P causes the spools to move against the centering springs until the spring force balances with the differential pressure As the pressure torque on the flapper becomes equal to the magnetic torque on the armature, the flapper moves away from the closed nozzle to an equilibrium position producing a steady-state control pressure (PC or PC) on the ends of each valve spool Each valve spool stops at a position where the control pressure force on the end of each valve spool equals the spring force on each valve spool Therefore, valve spool position is proportional to input current and, with a constant pressure drop across the spool meter-in and meter-out edges, the flow rate to the load is proportional to spool position Control pressure (PC or PC) reflected to the flapper produces torque on the flapper in opposition to the magnetic torque on the armature DIMENSIONS 45678904567890 45678904567890 45678904567890 45678904567890 CAUTION 45678904567890 NULL ADJUST ACCESS MANUAL OPERATOR Silicone oil is present and may drip when null is adjusted.

ADJUSTMENTS The Servovalve is adjustable when re-centering of the output levels is required. The following steps are recommended while referring to the Servovalve drawing (see drawing below). Required tools: one large slotted screw driver & one / internal hex wrench. Locate the neutral adjustment access point. Using the slotted screw driver remove the access screw. See Caution #. See Caution # Insert the hex wrench a short distance into the access opening and engage the adjustment setscrew.. Some applications require observing the system load while adjusting the servovalve and some require observing an electrical deviation meter which measures closed loop feedback errors while adjusting the load. Adjustments are make by turning the hex wrench very slowly either CW or CCW. Most adjustments require less than / turn from the starting point to re-center the servovalve to achieve the desired results. 4. Upon completion ensure that the access screw is reinstalled. See Caution #. Caution # Once the access screw is removed a small amount of silicone fluid may leak form this opening; the amount of leakage depends on the valve orientation (see figure ) in reference to gravity. Ensure that the screw is replaced once the re-centering is completed Caution # To adjust neutral requires operating the hydraulic system; therefore, prior to the actual adjustment, take the necessary safety precautions, such as having unnecessary personnel stand away form the machine as the system load will likely move. Caution #, A small amount of silicone oil leakage is acceptable (approximately 5 % of the total 45 cubic centimeters). If excessive silicone oil is lost, restore the fluid using silicone oil replacing kit K46 for models MCV & KVF. For models MCV0, use kit K45. Do not reuse any silicone oil that leaks from the cover due to the possibility of contamination.
