Description

Product Overview: MOOG D136-003-001 Servo Valve​

​1. General Description​

The Moog D136-003-001 is a high-performance, two-stage ​​electro-hydraulic servo valve​​. This model is a core component in closed-loop control systems, where precise and high-speed control of hydraulic flow and pressure is required. It translates a low-power electrical input signal into a high-power hydraulic output with exceptional accuracy and dynamic response.

Servo valves of this type are critical in applications where the position, velocity, or force of a hydraulic actuator must be controlled with extreme precision. The D136 series is known for its reliability and performance in demanding industrial and aerospace environments.

​2. Key Features and Functions​

  • ​Operating Principle:​​ The valve operates in two stages:
    1. ​First Stage (Torque Motor & Flapper/Nozzle):​​ A low-current electrical signal (e.g., ±10 mA) is applied to the torque motor coils. This creates a magnetic force that deflects a flexure tube and a connected flapper positioned between two nozzles. This movement creates a differential pressure.
    2. ​Second Stage (Spool Valve):​​ The differential pressure from the first stage acts on the ends of a four-way sliding spool. The spool shifts, precisely directing hydraulic fluid to (and from) a single or double-acting hydraulic actuator.
  • ​High Precision and Resolution:​​ Provides extremely fine control over fluid flow, allowing for smooth and accurate actuator movement even at very low speeds.
  • ​Fast Dynamic Response:​​ Designed for high-frequency operation, enabling rapid system response to changing command signals. This is critical for applications requiring high bandwidth.
  • ​Null Shift Adjustment:​​ Features an external adjustment mechanism to mechanically bias the spool and correct for null drift, ensuring the valve output is zero when the input signal is zero.
  • ​Robust Construction:​​ Built to withstand harsh operating conditions, including vibration, contamination levels typical of industrial systems, and a wide range of operating temperatures.
  • ​Filtered Protection:​​ The valve includes an integral, micron-rated ​​inlet filter​​ to protect its critical internal components from particulate contamination, which is a primary cause of valve failure.

​3. Technical Specifications​

The following specifications are typical for the D136 series. For exact values of the -003-001 variant, consulting the official datasheet is essential.

Parameter Typical Specification Notes
​Model Type​ Two-Stage, Flow Control Servo Valve Flapper-nozzle pilot stage, 4-way main stage spool.
​Actuator Type​ Permanent Magnet Torque Motor
​Input Signal​ ​±10 mA​​ (or commonly ±8 mA for some variants) The -003 likely denotes this specific input/performance rating.
​Input Impedance​ ~200 Ω @ 25°C (for ±10 mA coil)
​Null Pressure​ 50% of supply pressure (Ps) For equal area actuators.
​Rated Flow (Q_nom)​ ​Varies by model​​ (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20 GPM) The ​​-001​​ suffix often specifies a ​​5 GPM​​ rated flow at 1000 psi drop.
​Supply Pressure (Ps)​ Up to ​​3000 psi (210 bar)​ Standard maximum operating pressure.
​Hysteresis​ < 3%
​Threshold​ < 1%
​Frequency Response (-3 dB)​ > 100 Hz At 50% rated current.
​Porting Size​ SAE-10 (for 5 GPM model) Inlet, Control, and Return ports.
​Hydraulic Fluid​ Mineral-based petroleum oils per MIL-PRF-5606 or MIL-PRF-83282 Compatible with standard industrial hydraulic fluids.
​Fluid Temperature Range​ ​-65°F to +275°F (-54°C to +135°C)​
​Filtration Requirement​ ​10 micron absolute​ Critical for reliability. The internal filter is a last line of defense.

​4. Ordering Code Breakdown: D136-003-001​

  • ​D136​​: The base model number for this family of servo valves.
  • ​-003​​: This typically denotes a specific ​​electrical configuration​​ (e.g., ±10 mA input, specific coil impedance and connector type).
  • ​-001​​: This almost universally specifies the ​​rated flow capacity​​ of the valve. In the D136 series, ​​-001​​ commonly corresponds to a ​​5 US Gallons Per Minute (GPM)​​ flow rating at a 1000 psi (70 bar) pressure drop across the valve.

Note: Other common flow suffixes include -002 (10 GPM), -003 (15 GPM), and -004 (20 GPM). It is crucial to verify this, as the “003” in the middle of this part number is for the electrical side, not the flow.

​5. Typical Applications​

The Moog D136 servo valve is used in a wide array of high-performance motion control systems:

  • ​Industrial Automation:​​ Precision machine tools (grinders, EDMs), injection molding machines, rolling mills.
  • ​Test and Simulation:​​ Fatigue testing systems, flight simulators, structural test rigs.
  • ​Aerospace:​​ Flight control surface actuators (in some aircraft), fuel control systems, ground support equipment.
  • ​Robotics:​​ High-force, precision hydraulic robotic actuators.

​6. Important Note​

  • The Moog D136 is a classic and widely used servo valve design. Many variants exist with different electrical inputs (e.g., ±10 mA, ±40 mA, ±100 mA, ±10 VDC) and flow ratings.
  • ​The information provided is based on the standard D136 series. The exact specifications for the D136-003-001 can only be confirmed by consulting the official ​​Moog technical data sheet (TDS) or product manual​​ for that specific part number.​​ Proper installation, commissioning, and maintenance are critical for the performance and longevity of high-precision servo valves.
