ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a vehicular power steering system having an "open-center" control valve that has substantially zero hydraulic flow gain at zero input deflection angle and yet has minimal control orifice area. Improved valving arrangement is desirable in that it leads to rapid restoration of hydraulic flow gain at relatively small input deflection angles. The improved valving arrangement includes small transverse leakage slots formed in a valve spool that are positioned in parallel with either input or return flow distribution slots. The leakage slots are configured to form parasitic flow orifices which fluidically interconnect the output slots formed in the valve sleeve and which communicate with the fluid chambers formed on opposite sides of the piston in the power cylinder. Accordingly, a selectively variable leakage path is provided across the power cylinder.
