Stroking forces
Force required to drive a spool at an instant is the instantaneous stroking force. It has usually steady
state, transient and dynamic components. Not only at the vicinity of control point but also during
spool motion from a position to other position the flow force (steady state part) dominates.
It is named as flow induced forces, Bernoulli forces or hydraulic reaction forces. The force
induced as a result of flows through the valve orifices and valve body passages.
Referring to Fig. 4.14-1, the steady-state flow forces (jet), Fj can be expressed as,

Lateral force causes sticking the spool to sleeve or valve body bore wall. It is balanced by
symmetrical porting.

If the orifice is rectangular and the peripheral width is large in comparison to axial opening, then
the flow is usually two dimensional and may be assumed as irrotational, nonviscous and
incompressible. Von Mises used LaPlace’s equation to find jet angle . For all practical purposes
with very insignificant radial clearance may be taken as 69o (see Fig.- 4.14-2).

At small orifice openings i.e. at the beginning of opening remains close to 21o (See Fig. 4.14-2).
The steady state force then expressed as,
However, experimental results show higher values than estimated values and stiffer curves near the
null point, by using above formulae.

Transient flow forces

L is called damping length & Av is the cross section inside the spool chamber.
Obtaining dQ1 / dt from 4.14-5, flow force at transient zone is expressed as,
Clearly, transient flow force is proportional to spool velocity and change in pressure drop.
The velocity term, which represents damping force, is more sensitive. The pressure part has
negligibly small contribution towards the valve dynamics. It is to be noted that for reverse flow i.e.,
flow entering through the orifice (right end orifice in Fig. 4.14-1) the transient flow force is
destabilizing. Care must be taken in analysis of force balancing as there are few ports in series
along the spool.

Significance of the transient flow force coefficient B f by computing the damping ratio.

In such condition if damping length is 50% greater than thewother (say L2 1.5 L1 ), the damping
ratio s becomes 0.07. On the other hand if L1 1.5 L2 then s becomes negative with same value.

It would create same effect but with negative value . i.e., magnitude of s can never be greater than
0.35 w / d . However, a realistic value is around 0.1 w / d . In practice
