ABSTRACT:
A controller for fluid pressure operated devices such as vehicle power steering systems. The controller is of the type having a primary, rotatable valve member and a follow-up valve member and including a fluid meter having a metering member coupled to the follow-up valve member. The valving defines a central reference plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the valving and the various ports and passages defined by the primary and follow-up valve members are generally oppositely and equally disposed about the central reference plane. This valving symmetry reduces internal leakage and steering wheel precession. The controller includes a load signal circuit, including a pair of load sensing grooves oppositely and equally disposed about the central plane. The valving defines various neutral orifices and operating orifices communicating with the load signal circuit resulting in different load signal levels when the valving is in neutral, when the valving is in the normal operating position, and when it is fully actuated.
