Abstract
A servo valve includes a valve housing, a piston cylinder disposed in the housing, a piston disposed within the piston cylinder and fluidly connected on a first end to a first fluid pressure pathway and on a second end to a second fluid pressure pathway, a flapper assembly, and a flow control element disposed in the piston cylinder in a portion of the first fluid pressure pathway. The piston is configured to translate axially within the piston cylinder in response to a pressure differential between the first fluid pressure pathway and the second fluid pressure pathway. The fluid flow control element is configured to stop a flow of fluid through the first fluid pressure pathway when the piston engages the third fluid control element.
