Maintenance - Servo Valves

Importance of oil cleanliness :


Hydraulic oil should conform to NAS Grade -6 for the
following reasons:
1. The control oil has to pass through 0.17mm & 0.25mm
diameter orifices - any blockage will cause malfunction
of the system.
2. The diameter clearance between the Spool & Bush is
6 to 8 microns.
- any dirt will cause scoring mark on the Spool & the
Bush.
- the Spool may also get stuck

IMPROVEMENT DONE ON EHA FROM THE FEED BACK

Sl. Description of item Earlier used Used atpresent Improvement


no.
1 Tank Alumionium sand casting Aluminium fabricated out of plates Contamination from the casting is
and anodized completely eliminated
2 Internal Pipelines Seamless Steel carbon SS Tube after acid cleaning is used This prevents contamination of particles
Steel Tube from the pipelines
3 Feed Back Transmitter Linear variable Transmitter Direct mounting imported Siemens Avoided all linkage mechanism and play
with cam was used Angular Transducer is used is completely removed . Now, Hysterisis
is found less and repeatability is good
4 'O'Rings and seals Nitrile was used Viton O rings and seals are used Withstanding higher temperature
5 D P Switch Differential pressure gauge Clogging indicator imported from More accurate and compact. Damage
of Indian make was used MAHLE-GERMANY is used during transit of pressure gauges avoided
6 Motor 0.25 KW 0.33KW Tripping is totally avoided and heating of
the motor is reduced.
7 Hand pump operation Suction was less Suction Area was increased. Suction was increased and it takes only
25 strokes instead of 45 strokes taken
earlier for the movement of Actuator for
40mm.
8 Tests Only assembly test and Assembly stage inspection was After cyclical tests repeatability is
final test was conducted introduced and all the actuators are checked and found well within the limit
individually checked cyclically for including hysterisis.
10000 times

NOW, FOR THE NEW SERIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT, FOLLOWING WERE INTRODUCED.

1. Double filteration system - this enables to change the filter during the operation without stopping the actuator.

2. Tandem Pump with combined pressure relief valve is used- this reduces volume of pressurised oil and hence, heat generated is less during idle
condition..

3. Yoke length is increased. This reduces conduction of heat from the valve of the actuator.

FINALLY TO CONCLUDE, ALL THE DIFFICULTIES WERE OVERCOME AND NOW THE EHA IS PERFORMING VERY WELL.
ELECTRO HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE


1. Electro Hydraulic Actuator Assembly is selective assembly.
2. Spool is not interchangeable
3. Spool is to be fit in correct direction only
4. Oil contamination to be maintained to NAS 6 level
5. While dismantling the nozzle, care should be taken to
reassemble in the same position and also locking screw
position should not be disturbed.
