FROM SPOOL END RETURN ORIFICE TO SPOOL END

Ø Armature and flapper rigidly joined and Ø Rotary motion of armature /

supported by thin-wall flexure sleeve. flapper throttles flow through one
nozzle or the other
Ø Fluid continuously flows from pressure Ø This diverts flow to one end of the
Ps, through both inlet orifices, via the spool
nozzles into the flapper chamber and
finally through the drain orifice to tank T.

 Function MFB Valve

Null Position:
Null current is supplied to the coils of the Torque Motor and the motor stand in his
middle position. The gabs between the right-and-left nozzle are the same. Due to
the same gabs the pressure on both spool ends is symmetric. The Spool of the
main stage is also located in middle position. Port A and B are closed

bent feedback wire

Movement
of spool

Operating:
If an input signal is applied the Torque Motor will pull out, therefore the gab between
the right-and-left nozzle will change and a different pressure will arise at both sites of
the spool. Due to the Delta P on the spool ends the spool will move. Thus the
feedback wire will bent according to the displacement of a spool. The Ports P to A
and the Port B to T will open and oil will flow through the BSA of the main stage.

 Function MFB Valve

Position reached:
As feedback torque becomes equal to torque from the magnetic forces, the Flapper
moves back to centered position. Then the gab between the Nozzles and the Flapper
and the pressure at both spool ends will be the same. The spool stops at the position
where the torque of the feedback spring is alike the torque induced by the applied
current to the coil.
