760 Series Installation and

Operation Instruction
Electrohydraulic Servovalve
1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides instructions and procedures necessary to install,
operate and troubleshoot the Moog 760 Series Industrial Servovalve.
Troubleshooting instructions are outlined so that only the specific component(s)
suspected of failure may be identified.

2. OPERATION
The Moog 760 Series Industrial Servovalve consists of a polarized electrical
torque motor and two stages of hydraulic power amplification .The motor
armature extends into the air gaps of the magnetic flux circuit and is supported
in this position by a flexure tube member.The flexure tube acts as a seal
between the electromagnetic and hydraulic sections of the valve.The two motor
coils surround the armature, one on each side of the flexure tube.

The flapper of the first stage hydraulic amplifier is rigidly attached to the
midpoint of the armature.The flapper extends through the flexure tube and
passes between two nozzles, creating two variable orifices between the nozzle
tips and the flapper.The pressure controlled by the flapper and nozzle variable
orifice is fed to the end areas of the second stage spool.
The second stage is a conventional 4-way spool design in which output
flow from the valve, at a fixed valve pressure drop, is proportional to spool

other.
This action creates a differential pressure from one end of the spool to the
other and results in spool displacement.The spool displacement causes a force in
the feedback wire which opposes the original input signal torque. Spool
movement continues until the feedback wire force equals the input signal force. Filter Inlet Orifice

addition to other filters that are installed in the hydraulic circuit, it is
recommended that a large capacity, low pressure ß3≥75 filter be installed in the
return line. This filter will increase the interval between filter element

5. MECHANICAL NULL ADJUSTMENT

It is often desirable to adjust the flow null of a servovalve independent of
other system parameters.The “mechanical null adjustment” on the Moog 760
Series servovalve allows at least ±20% adjustment of flow null.
The “mechanical null adjustor” is an eccentric bushing retainer pin, located
above the “return” port designation on the valve body (see Figure 2) which,
when rotated, provides control of the bushing position. Mechanical feedback
elements position the spool relative to the valve body for a given input signal.
Therefore, a movement of the bushing relative to the body changes the flow null.

a. Disconnect the electrical lead to the servovalve.
b. Relieve the hydraulic system of residual pressure.
c. Remove the servovalve.
