Abstract
An actuator system having various features is disclosed. An actuator system may have a first and a second electrohydraulic servo valve. A control selector may connect one of the electrohydraulic servo valves to a cylinder and may isolate the other electrohydraulic servo valve to ameliorate leakage in response to a switching solenoid valve operating. In this manner, one electrohydraulic servo valve may be connected to a cylinder to operate the cylinder, and the other electrohydraulic servo valve may be isolated from the cylinder, for example, to provide a standby electrohydraulic servo valve.
