A Novel Servovalve Pilot Stage Actuated by a Piezo-electric Ring Bender (Part II): Design Model and Full Simulation

In part I of this study, we experimentally and numerically investigated the pilot stage of a novel two-stage servovalve architecture. The novelty of the proposed configuration is the torque motor being removed and replaced with two small two-way two-position (2/2) valves actuated by piezoelectric ri...
