The invention provides an indirect control type digital servo valve. According to the technical scheme, digital quantity control is adopted, the driving force of a valve element is large, the valve element is not prone to jamming, the anti-pollution capability of the servo valve is improved, the control of a main valve element can be realized without arranging a sensor, so that the control loop issimplified. In order to achieve the aim, the indirect control type servo valve comprises a valve body, the main valve element and a pilot valve element, the main valve element is provided with an oilinlet passage, an oil return passage and a control oil passage, the area of the axial two ends of the main valve element is unequal, the valve body is provided with a control oil cavity communicatingwith the control oil passage at the end, which is large in area, of the main valve element, and is provided with a high-pressure oil cavity communicating with high-pressure oil at the end, which is small in area, of the main valve element, one end of the pilot valve element extends into the main valve element in an axial direction so as to enable the control oil passage and the oil inlet passageor the oil return passage to communicate through axial movement, so that the two ends of the main valve element form the differential pressure for axial movement, then the working positions of the valve are switched, and the continuous adjustment of the flow is realized.
