Abstract: An improved electrohydraulic servovalve has first and second valve spools mounted for independent sliding movement relative to a body in response to a common command signal. The valve has a first drive mechanism operatively arranged to cause a desired motion of one valve spool in response to the command signal, and has a second drive mechanism operatively arranged to cause a desired simultaneous similar motion of the other valve spool in response to the command signal. The improvement comprises a differential position sensing mechanism arranged to sense the relative positions of the two valve spools and operative to produce an output related to the difference therebetween, and an indicating device supplied with such output and operative to indicate substantially dissimilar relative positions of the spools.
