Aerospace Servo Valve Repair & Bench Testing

Independent third-party repair of aerospace-grade servo and proportional valves: flight simulator motion bases, control loading systems, hydraulic test stands, and ground support equipment. Component-level rebuild and bench verification on the same hydraulic stands the shop has run since 1975.

N100 Where these valves sit

Four aerospace application contexts

Aerospace-grade servo valves run in tighter tolerance bands than industrial valves and on different kinds of equipment. Below are four common contexts seen at the bench.

N110

Flight simulator motion bases

Servo valves come off commercial and military flight simulator motion bases for rebuild. Moog 760, 728, and HR Textron 27-series bodies are common.

N120

Control loading systems

Servo valves come off simulator control loading hardware. Moog and Parker bodies on yoke, rudder, and stick force-feedback hardware.

N130

Hydraulic test stands

Aerospace component test stand and structural test rig servo valves come through for component-level rebuild. Moog, HR Textron, and Atchley bodies common.

N140

Ground support equipment

Servo valves come off aerospace GSE: tow tugs, jacks, and aircraft servicing equipment.

N200 What NC Servo does

Component-level repair on aerospace valves

Each unit is opened, inspected, and rebuilt at the component level. Failed parts come from inventory or pulled off donor units. Bench verification before ship.

N210

Pilot stage rebuild

Jet pipe, nozzle flapper, and torque motor pilot stages cleaned, aligned, and trimmed against documented procedures.

N220

Spool & sleeve service

Spool wear, contamination scoring, and lap restoration on aerospace-grade valve bodies.

N230

Coil & feedback work

Burned coil rebuild, feedback wire repair, and LVDT verification on closed-loop bodies.

N240

Bench testing

Hagenbusch and older-style hydraulic stands for legacy aerospace hardware. Performance data available for purchase.

N250

Donor parts service

Stock is hit or miss, but legacy hardware shows up often enough that we can pull from past jobs when we have a match. Ask about a specific part number.

N260

Repair scope

NC Servo handles bench-level component work. FAA, AS9100, or aerospace-OEM re-certification stays with the customer or qualified integrator.

N400 Common faults

What usually shows up on aerospace valves

Aerospace valves run in cleaner hydraulic systems than typical industrial hardware, but they cycle harder and run tighter tolerances. The failures we see most often fall into the categories below. Recognize one? A part number is enough to start.

Fault log — typical intake
Pilot stageJet pipe nozzle plugging, flapper damage, jet alignment after a contamination event, or pilot-pressure null shift after long service.
Spool and bodySpool wear, contamination scoring on aerospace-grade lap surfaces, sticky spool action, and internal leakage past the spool.
Coil and feedbackBurned drive coils, feedback wire wear at the pilot, LVDT signal drift, and signal-path component failures.
Connector and electricalDamaged connectors, cable strain at the entry point, and contamination on the connector pins after years of service in the field.

N500 Workflow

From part number to ship-back

Same four-step path through the shop whether the unit is a flight simulator motion-base servo or an aerospace test-stand jet-pipe valve.

N510

Get in touch

Call or email with the part number, application context, and a photo of the nameplate if it helps.

N520

Bench review

Tech opens the unit, inspects pilot and spool, and runs it on the hydraulic stand to confirm what failed.

N530

Cost & approval

We call back with the cost and a rough turnaround. Nothing is started without your sign-off.

N540

Repair, test, ship

Failed components replaced from inventory or off donors, the valve verified under pressure, and shipped back.

N600 Common questions

Common questions about aerospace valve repair

Application-specific questions. For brand-specific FAQs, see the dedicated brand page in the brand list above.

Do you provide FAA or AS9100 re-certification?
No. NC Servo handles bench-level component repair on the valve hardware. FAA, AS9100, or aerospace-OEM re-certification stays with the customer, OEM, or qualified integrator. Customers using these valves in aerospace service are typically already set up for that side of the work.
What aerospace applications come through the shop?
Flight simulator motion bases, control loading systems, hydraulic test stands, ground support equipment, and aerospace component test rigs. Most of the work is on Moog, HR Textron, Atchley, and Abex servo valves used in those applications.
Do you work on jet-pipe and nozzle-flapper servo valves?
Yes. Both pilot-stage technologies come through the bench. Jet-pipe units (HR Textron 27B50, Abex 447400, Atchley 211 / 213) and nozzle-flapper units (HR Textron 27A50F, Moog 760, Parker servo) all get pilot-stage cleaning, spool work, coil rebuild, and bench testing.
What if my aerospace valve is beyond economic repair?
If the valve is not fixable, we will let you know and help source a replacement.
Do you provide test data with the repair?
Each repaired valve is bench-tested before it ships. Performance graphs and detailed test data are available for purchase.
What is the warranty?
One year on parts and workmanship for repairs and rebuilt units. Standard exclusions apply for contamination, improper installation, and out-of-spec operation. Flushing and filtering the hydraulic system before reinstalling a repaired valve is recommended.
