FLAPPER AND ARMATURE/FLAPPER ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A SERVOVALVE

摘要

A flapper for use in a servovalve is described, the flapper comprising a first material and a second material, the first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion and the second material having a second coefficient of thermal expansion and wherein the first and second coefficients of thermal expansion are different to each other. An armature/flapper assembly is also described, which comprises this flapper as well as a plate and a torsion bridge. A method of compensating for alteration of the null of a servovalve due to temperature changes in a servovalve is also described.
