  • Patent number: 5522301
    Abstract: A two stage valve assembly responsive to signals from a control system for supplying pressurized fluid to two load lines. The first stage includes a motor that directs pressurized fluid from a jet pipe toward a receiver assembly having two receiver ports and a bleedoff area disposed between and separating the receiver ports. The second stage assembly includes two spool/sleeve assemblies that control the flow of pressurized fluid to and from the two load lines. A drain line from the receiver assembly includes a pressure relief valve, which insures that both spool/sleeve assemblies will be servo-controlled at all times. Cartridges may be inserted in the spool/sleeve assemblies to linearize the relationship between input current from the control system and the output force of an unequal area actuator connected to the load lines.
