A metering valve includes a valve body, a valve element, a rotary servo, and a stepper motor. The valve body has a valve chamber, a fluid inlet port, a fluid outlet port, a metering valve control pressure inlet port, a servo control pressure inlet port, and a servo control pressure outlet port. The valve element is movably disposed within the valve chamber and defines therein at least a control pressure chamber and a return pressure chamber. The valve element is responsive to fluid pressure in the control pressure chamber to move between a closed position and a plurality of open positions. The rotary servo is rotatable about a rotational axis to a plurality of servo positions to thereby vary fluid pressure in the control pressure chamber. The stepper motor is responsive to commands to rotate the rotary servo to a commanded servo position.
