Adjusting the zero position of the servo valve must return the servo valve to the manufacturer, and the servo valve is disassembled in a super-clean workshop to adjust the zero position, which is complicated to operate, has high technical difficulty, takes a long time, and has high cost. With the increasing demand for electro-hydraulic servo valves in the field of aviation and aerospace, such as airplanes and missiles, reducing the time cost and economic cost of the return of the electro-hydraulic servo valve to the factory for maintenance, improving the use efficiency of the electro-hydraulic servo valve, and reducing the operation and maintenance difficulty of the electro-hydraulic servo valve have become a problem to be solved at present. Designing an electro-hydraulic servo valve that can independently adjust the zero output without disassembly has become the focus of attention in the field of electro-hydraulic servo valve testing. In order to overcome the defect that the user cannot adjust the zero position after the traditional electro-hydraulic servo valve is delivered, a kind of electro-hydraulic servo valve with external zero adjustment, simple structure, high reliability and convenient operation is developed, which has very important theoretical significance and engineering application value for improving the use efficiency of the electro-hydraulic servo valve in the field of aviation and aerospace.

The risk of contaminating the internal oil of the servo valve during operation is avoided.
