Highly respected Jet-Pipe® technology

We’re proud to design, develop, and manufacture the highly reliable Jet-Pipe®-based EHSVs. All of Parker’s servovalves provide unparalleled performance due to their highly reliable Jet-Pipe® first-stage and second-stage spool design. The result is an exceptionally stable, contamination-resistant, and erosion-tolerant servovalve that’s designed to last.

Our EHSV applications can be found on both primary and secondary flight control actuators, main gear and nosewheel steering systems, and autobrake modules. Currently Parker EHSVs are in production or qualified for use on most military and commercial aircraft being produced today. We also manufacture a line of EHSVs for the industrial power generation marketplace that includes FM- and CE-certified valves.

The evolution of fly-by-wire flight control actuation systems has dramatically changed the way an aircraft performs many of its functions. A pilot’s actions are now converted to electrical signals interpreted by flight computers that initiate orders to actuate the control surfaces of the airplane.
