Patent ID: 8418722

Claim:
A pressure-regulator servo-valve for delivering an adjusted utilization pressure to a hydraulic receiver, such as a hydraulic brake, said pressure regulator comprising: a body having: a utilization port through which said adjusted utilization pressure is transmitted to said hydraulic receiver, a pressure feed port through which said servo-valve is fed with pressurized fluid, a return port through which excess fluid is returned and, a calibrated orifice for receiving a slidable spool, wherein said spool is movably mounted in the calibrated orifice so that a position of said spool determines said adjusted utilization pressure, wherein said position of said spool is affected by a control pressure of fluid flowing into a pilot chamber defined in said body, said pilot chamber being permanently connected to: a nozzle opening out into a cavity connected to said return port, and said utilization port so that said pilot chamber is fed by said utilization port, said pressure regulator servo-valve further comprising a vane facing said nozzle and being selectively movable for modulating said control pressure into said pilot chamber.
