DESCRIPTION
The MCV102A Pressure Control Servovalve (PCS) is a twostage, fourway, closed loop electrohydraulic servovalve that
provides an output differential pressure in response to a low
power electrical input signal. The PCS consists of a closed
loop Pressure Control Pilot Valve and a closed loop pressure
control boost stage valve. The boost stage valve features a
unique double-spool arrangement that has significant cost
and functional advantages over conventional single-spool
deigns.
The PCS has been designed with an output dynamic
response bandwidth sufficient for most high performance
servo control applications. The valve may be used to directly
control cylinders, to control output forces, or as a first stage
to pilot operated high flow main control valves of 40 gpm to
400 gpm flow rates.
FEATURES
MCV102A
Pressure Control Servovalve
BLN-95-8963-4 Issued: October 1998
• Null shift stability over a wide temperature and pressure
range
• Constant pressure gain regardless of supply pressure,
return pressure and load flow demand changes
• Independent dual spool operation maximizes load flow
output while maintaining proper differential pressure

SHOCK
50 G's for 11 milliseconds. Three shocks in both
directions of the three mutually perpendicular axes for a
total of 18 shocks.
VIBRATION
Withstands a vibration test designed for mobile
equipment controls consisting of two parts:
1. Cycling from 5 to 2000 Hz in each of the three axes.
2. Resonance dwell for one million cycles for each
resonance point in each of the three axes.
Subject to acceleration levels of 1 to 46 G's.
Acceleration level varies with frequency.
HUMIDITY
After being placed in a controlled atmosphere of 95%
humidity at 49° C (120° F) for 10 days, the PCS will
perform within specification limits. Meets MIL-STD810B.
