ABSTRACT:
A rotary servovalve for a power steering system is provided wherein a plurality of orifices are established by a plurality of axial extending lands formed on the internal surface of a valve sleeve and the circumferential surface of a rotor received therein. As the rotor rotates relative to the sleeves, the orifices control the pressure and the flow of fluid supplied from a pump to a power cylinder of the steering system and from the power cylinder to a reservoir. Each of the lands on the rotor is formed at each of its circumferential edges with a chamfer which has a third slope for preventing the generation of cavitation and hissing noise, in addition to first and second slopes for offering an optimum steering feeling to a vehicular driver.
