What you need to
know
If you are replacing an existing servovalve and you encounter any
component interference or alignment issues, contact MTS
Technical support. Trying to reposition components without
knowing the ramifications can cause equipment damage.
MTS Systems Corporation assumes that you know how to use your controller.
See the appropriate manual for information about performing any controllerrelated step in this manual’s procedures. You are expected to know how to
perform the following procedures.
•
Turn hydraulic pressure on and off.
•
Select a control mode.
•
Manually adjust the actuator position.
•
You should have experience installing or servicing servohydraulic
equipment.
Introduction
13
The heart of a servohydraulic system is the servovalve. It is the final control
element in most MTS closed-loop systems. The servovalve responds to
command signals generated by the software and processed by the controller and
output through the valve driver module. The servovalve regulates the direction
and flow of the hydraulic fluid entering the actuator from the hydraulic pressure
ports. The direction that the spools move determines the direction of fluid flow to
the actuator. A pressure difference is what causes the fluid to move.

Servovalve Function
Control signal
In a closed-loop hydraulic system, the servovalve uses the control signal from an
electronic control device (controller) to operate a valve that regulates the
movement of a hydraulic actuator.
The control signal is created by comparing the program command signal (the
desired actuator position) and the feedback signal from a transducer (the actual
actuator position). Any difference between the two is called DC error, which is
the command to the servovalve to supply hydraulic fluid to the actuator until the
desired actuator position is achieved.
Servovalve at rest
The servovalve’s controlling element is the torque motor, which receives an
electrical input from the controller. A flapper is attached to the armature of the
torque motor. The flapper moves from side to side as the armature moves in
response to control signals from the controller. The flapper assembly is
mechanically attached to the armature. There are two nozzles, one on each side of
the flapper.
Because the nozzle-flapper valve is the first control point of hydraulic fluid, it is
called the first stage. As long as there is no command for actuator motion, the
flapper is centered between the two nozzles.
At the same time, pressurized hydraulic fluid entering the valve is applied
equally to both sides of the spool, which does not move. This is the second stage.

Moving the spool
Stopping the spool
A command from the controller causes the armature to rotate clockwise or
counterclockwise (depending on the polarity of the command). The command
causes the flapper to block one of the nozzles, which diverts hydraulic flow to
that end of the spool. The spool moves and opens hydraulic pressure to one
control port and the return line to the other control port. The control ports are
connected to each end of the actuator.
The feedback wire works like a spring. The spool moves until the feedback wire
torque equals the torque from the magnetic forces. This causes the flapper to
move back toward the centered position. The spool stops at a position where the
feedback wire spring torque equals the torque input current of the command. The
spool position is proportional to the input command current.
Although the pressures are equal on both sides of the spool (so the spool is no
longer moving), control flow from the servovalve keeps the actuator moving.
Introduction
15
Stopping actuator
movement
When the actuator has moved the desired amount, the valve drive command
decreases to zero. Hydraulic fluid flow to the actuator stops, and so does the
actuator.
Servovalves are suitable for a variety of applications. They may be mounted
directly to a linear or rotary actuator, or single or dual servovalves may be
mounted to a manifold, which in turn is mounted to an actuator.

Introduction
Single Servovalves
Single Servovalves
Single servovalves may be mounted to a manifold or directly to an actuator. The
purpose of a manifold is to adapt the ports of the servovalve to the ports of the
actuator.

Introduction
A small (252) servovalve may be mounted to a larger (256) servovalve, enabling
the fluid flow from the smaller one to be used to move the spool of the larger one.
This configuration enables the control signal to effectively regulate a flow rate
substantially greater than the full-flow rating of the smaller servovalve.

30
Important
If you are replacing an existing servovalve and you encounter any
component interference or alignment issues, contact MTS
Technical support. Trying to reposition components without
knowing the ramifications can cause equipment damage.
The actuator has a manifold that aligns the hydraulic ports of the servovalve with
the hydraulic ports on the actuator. Almost all servovalves are installed onto an
adapter manifold. A servovalve may be installed onto an actuator only if the
servovalve ports align with the ports of the actuator.
1. Ensure that system hydraulic pressure has been reduced to zero before
proceeding. To do this, turn off the hydraulic power unit and exercise the
actuator until it stops moving. Turn off electrical power at the controller.
2. Remove the servovalve protective cover plate (attached to the bottom of the
servovalve). If replacing the servovalve, remove the cover plate from the
actuator.
3. Ensure that the O-rings between the servovalve and actuator, manifold, or
secondary servovalve are lubricated with a light film of hydraulic fluid and
are in their correct position.
4. Position the servovalve on the actuator, manifold, or secondary servovalve,
aligning the locating pin on the servovalve with the locating hole on the
actuator, manifold, or secondary servovalve. The servovalve cannot be
installed without proper alignment. See the following figure for the location
of the locating pin.

Note
For mounting the Model 252.2x and 252.4x servovalves use four 5/16-18
x 1-1/2 in. ASTM A574 socket head cap screws and the Model 252.3x
servovalve uses four 3/8-16 x 1-3/4 in. ASTM A574 socket head cap
screws. As the screws are successively tightened, those previously
tightened will lose clamping force. Continue tightening until all screws
are at the specified torque.
5. After lubricating the mounting screws with a light film of oil, tighten each
one until it is firmly seated. Using the sequence shown, tighten the socket
head screws to 5 lbf·ft.

•
Continue using the pattern and tighten the socket head screws to a final
torque of 13-19 lbf·ft for 252.2x and 252.4x servovalves.
•
Continue using the pattern and tighten the socket head screws to a final
torque of 23-34 lbf·ft torque for 252.3X servovalves.
Note
For manifolds machined with metric threads, the requirements are as
follows:
252.2X and 252.4X Servovalves: M8 x 1.25 mm x 40 mm long socket
head cap screws (DIN 912 Class 12.9). Final torque 19-28 N·m.
252.3X Servovalves: M10 x 1.5 mm x 45 mm long (DIN Class 12.9. Final
torque 36-53 N·m.
6. Connect the four-pin electrical cable from the controller to the servovalve.
7. Turn on electrical and hydraulic system power.
26
Installation
8. Apply low hydraulic pressure to the servovalve so that the hydraulic fluid
gradually fills the filter cavity.
9. Apply high hydraulic pressure and check for leaks at the servovalve
hydraulic connections and at the base of the servovalve.
Installation
27
The following figure shows the connector wiring for the servovalve. The correct
wiring configuration is determined by the requirements of the device used to
control the servovalve. See the appropriate controller manual for information on
servovalve connections. Common MTS cables include:

Installation
The Model 252.2x Servovalve can easily be changed from four to five ports. The
servovalve can be configured for pilot stage oil supply through the internal
pressure “P” port, or from a separate supply line through the “X” port. Standard
configuration is internal pilot operation with a screw and seal washer in the “X”
port. This same screw and seal washer must be relocated to the “P” port if an
external pilot oil supply source is desired. The following figure shows the screw
and seal washer locations.
Relocate screw and
seal washer to P

WARNING
Make sure the screw and seal washer are correctly relocated to the P port.
If the screw and seal washer are not correctly relocated to the P port,
pressurized oil from the PP port can make its way to the valve's P port,
which could result in pressurized oil being connected to an actuator even if
the main hydraulic supply is blocked.
This could result in dangerous actuator motion.
Important
Some local regulations might require precise hydraulic labeling on
components. Upon valve installation, the nameplate must display
the proper hydraulic schematic and typecode (if applicable). When
a valve is configured for a pilot supply, please attach a lower half
label (available from MTS) showing the external (5th port)
information. An example follows.
Installation
29
The Model 252.3x Servovalve can easily be changed from four to five ports. The
fifth port provides hydraulic pressure to the spool even when station pressure is
removed. The following procedure describes how to open the fifth port and block
a secondary port to the filter.
The five port configuration can be changed back to a four port configuration. Use
the following procedure as a guideline to remove the plug in the secondary filter
port and install it into the fifth port on the bottom of the servovalve.
1. Turn the hydraulic pressure off.
Ensure that system hydraulic pressure has been reduced to zero before
actuator until it stops moving. Then, turn off electrical power to the
controller.
2. Open the fifth port.

Maintenance
Maintaining the Series 252 Servovalves typically involves changing the filter
element (Model 252.3x only) and setting the mechanical null adjustment. Except
for these procedures, further disassembly, inspection, or repair of the servovalve
is not recommended and may void the servovalve warranty.
MTS does not recommend changing the 35-micron filter element in the Models
252.2x/.4x Servovalve (revision C). MTS hydraulic power supplies filter the
system hydraulic fluid at 3-microns absolute. The system filters will trap most
solid particle contaminants. If servovalve performance has deteriorated and the
cause has been isolated to the servovalve filter, return the servovalve to MTS for
service.
Contents
33

39
Under normal operating conditions, the 20-micron stainless steel filter used in the
servovalve should be replaced only if servovalve performance has deteriorated.
Ensure that other possible causes of poor performance, such as plugged system
filters or hydraulic power unit wear, have been eliminated before replacing the
servovalve filter.
Prerequisites
Procedure
You must have a filter kit that contains the necessary filter element replacement
parts. The filter for the Model 252.3x Servovalves is MTS part number 032-844101. The filter for the revision G Model 252.2x/4x servovalves is MTS part
number 100-098-436. MTS does not recommend field replacement of filters in
earlier revision servovalves.
To replace the filter element, perform the following procedure. Care should be
exercised to prevent dirt or other contaminants from entering the servovalve
body, filter passages, or manifold/actuator ports. Refer to the following figure
during the procedure.

This procedure describes how to adjust the mechanical null for the Series 252
Servovalve. The mechanical null adjustment aligns the servovalve spool to a
position that results in little or no actuator movement when there is no control
signal.
Prerequisites
MTS Systems Corporation recommends that you read this procedure before
attempting to adjust the mechanical null. The mechanical null adjustment is quite
sensitive, and you should be familiar with the hazards that can be encountered
when performing the procedure.
Perform the servovalve mechanical null adjustment after the valve balancing
procedure (electrical compensation) has been completed and the results are
judged unsatisfactory.
During the servovalve mechanical null adjustment procedure, the actuator should
be free to move with minimal load.
Valve balance
adjustments
MTS controllers have an electronic mechanical null adjustment called valve
balance. The valve balance adjustment is a convenient way to compensate for a
servovalve that needs a mechanical null adjustment. The adjustment introduces
an electrical offset signal that causes the servovalve to hold the position of the
actuator when a zero command is issued.
Maintenance
35
WARNING
Do not perform the following procedure without clearing the path of motion
of the actuator.
Sudden and unexpected actuator rod movement can cause serious injury to
personnel and/or damage to equipment.
Ensure that all personnel, specimen/structures, and tools are away from the path
of motion of the actuator (crush zone).
1. Exercise the actuator.
The actuator should be exercised to warm it up. Electrical and mechanical
adjustments are more repeatable after the actuator is warmed up.
A.
Select displacement control for the controller.
B.
Adjust the actuator for mid-displacement.
C.
Turn on electrical and hydraulic system power.
D.
Define a 50%, 0.1 Hz sine wave command and allow the actuator to
warm up for approximately one-half hour.
E.
After the warm up period, stop the test program.
2. Set up for null-adjustment.
A.
Set the supply pressure to the normal operating pressure (typically
3000 psi).
B.
The actuator should be in position control, with the reset integrator
disabled or set to zero.
C.
Set the electrical valve balance to zero.
D.
Monitor both command (actuator displacement command,) and
feedback (actuator position feedback.)
E.
For Series 252.2X and older Series 252.3X servovalves with adjuster
pins, follow step 3 below. For newer Series 252.3X servovalves with
the null adjustment screw on the top of the valve cover, follow step 4
below.
3. Setting the adjuster pin. (Series 252.2X and older Series 252.3X
servovalves.)
36
Maintenance
A.
Slightly loosen the self-locking nut.
B.
Insert a 3/32-inch hex key into the adjustor pin socket. See the
following figure for the location of the adjustor pin.
CAUTION
Do not apply more than 1.36 N•m (12 lbf-in.) of torquing force to the adjustor
pin.
Excessive torquing may shear off the adjustor pin eccentric.
If the pin does not turn using very little force, gently loosen the self-locking nut
more, then try turning the pin again.
C.
Check that the scribe mark on the adjuster pin is pointed toward the
base (oriented in the lower 180° of the adjustment range). If necessary,
rotate the adjuster pin so that the scribe mark is pointed towards the
base.
D.
While monitoring the command and feedback signals, slowly rotate the
adjustor pin until command equals feedback.
E.
Verify that the scribe on the adjuster pin is pointed approximately
towards the base.
