FACTS
REGARDING THE REPAIR OF STAR
SERVO VALVES
Industrial Servo Hydraulics,
Inc. is the longest operating hydraulic repair facility in the country.
Established in 1969, the original owners saw a need to service the
customers in the aftermarket for servovalve repair. The manufacturers
were more concerned with selling new items than supporting customers
who needed service performed on there existing valves. It was a
general rule that if production needed parts to get out new items,
the manufacturer would use parts that were scheduled for valve repairs.
Industrial Servo Hydraulics,
Inc. is under new ownership. The new owners have been with the Company
for 24 to 28 years each. The top manufacturers of servovalves have
trained us on the process of repairing their servovalves. The engineering
background of the original owners has been passed down through the
years and our close relationship with the manufacturers supports
that Industrial Servo Hydraulics, Inc. still remains the most knowledgeable
repair facility around. After all these years the most important
rule we have learned is:
Customer
Service, Honesty and Quality is more than a slogan, it is what we
Do Best.
The
background of our Company is why Star Hydraulics, Ltd. chose us
to represent their line of Electro Hydraulic Servovalves and why
they
have confidence in our repair capabilities of their valve designs.
Dynamic and Static Tests
can be provided for the Star Servovalves. This includes flow ratings,
electrical characteristics, correct first stage parts such as nozzles,
orifices, coils, armature feedback assemblies and other parts such
as spool and sleeve assemblies. Parts used in the repair
of these valves are all O.E.M. Parts.
Because of our relationship
with Star we have access to all of the valve specifications. Without
knowing these specifications the valve cannot be calibrated correctly
such as - what the proper drive pressure should be to the first
stage, the nozzles must be set to the proper pressure when removed
to perform Major Motor work. This all requires special fixturing
which Industrial Servo Hydraulics, Inc. has in their test laboratory.
The Star valve utilizes
a Jeweled feedback ball on their Feedback Wire assembly so the valve
will have a longer span of operation before a “glitch”
effect occurs. This is an important feature over other like designs
because it will require less maintenance which equals more profit
to the user.
