piezoelectric stack is the linear sum of two
deformations.
The piezoelectric direct drive servovalve can operate
in two modes, one is central position control, and the
other is single control. When the central control is
adopted, control voltage which is amplified enough to
apply on the common port of the two piezoelectric
stacks, one piezoelectric stack elongates because of
converse piezoelectric effect, the other shortens
simultaneously, and the spool will move to the
direction of shortened piezoelectric stack.
Displacement sensor senses the displacement of the
spool and produce corresponding voltage signal which

voltage on the two piezoelectric stacks reach some
value and make the spool stay some special position.
From the fig.3 and fig.4, we can know that its flow
satisfies the active control of pressure pulsations and it
exists hysteresis which is inherent characteristic of the
piezoelectric ceramic and needs compensation in active
control.
