Servo valves
Denison and Parker Denison electrohydraulic servo valves. Pilot stage cleaning and trim, spool service, coil rebuild, seal replacement, and bench testing on the hydraulic stand.
Independent Repair Shop. Not Parker. Not Denison.
Independent third-party repair of Denison Hydraulics and Parker Denison hardware: servo valves, proportional directional and flow control valves, and electronic control cards. Coverage spans both pre-2003 Denison Hydraulics legacy units and current Parker Denison production. Backed by a 19,000+ unit in-house inventory we pull aftermarket and donor parts from. NC Servo is not affiliated with Parker Hannifin or Denison. Working on this kind of hardware since 1975.
Acquisition Timeline
The Denison name has gone through three eras. The hardware in your machine probably wears the nameplate from whichever era it was built in. We work on hardware from all three.
Service Coverage
Denison's lineup is unusual for a single brand: servo valves, proportional valves, and electronic control cards all show up here. We open each unit, find what failed, and rebuild it at the component level using parts from inventory or pulled off donor units.
Denison and Parker Denison electrohydraulic servo valves. Pilot stage cleaning and trim, spool service, coil rebuild, seal replacement, and bench testing on the hydraulic stand.
Proportional directional control valves and proportional flow control valves. Coil work, spool service, driver-card checks where the model has onboard electronics, and full functional verification.
Denison electronic control cards and electro-hydraulic system controllers. Circuit diagnostics, component-level board work, and signal verification under load on the electronic test bench.
Denison Coverage
We are a small repair shop, not a Denison or Parker distributor. The categories below are simply the ones that come through often enough to be familiar. If your part number is not in this list, send it anyway. We work on what we can.
Common Faults
A description of the symptom helps the diagnosis, but a part number is often enough. The categories below cover the kinds of trouble that come in across Denison servo valves, proportional valves, and control cards.
| Pilot stage and torque motor | Pilot-pressure null shift, torque motor coil burnout, flapper damage, contamination in the pilot path, or wear on the feedback wire on servo valves. |
|---|---|
| Spool and body | Spool wear, contamination scoring, sticky spool action, internal leakage past the spool, or seal failure on directional and flow control bodies. |
| Coils and driver electronics | Burned proportional coils, failed onboard driver cards, position-feedback faults, or open windings on the pilot stage. |
| Control card faults | Power-supply failures, blown output stages, signal-conditioning drift, or bad pots on Denison electronic control cards and electro-hydraulic controllers. |
Repair Path
Most Denison jobs follow the same four steps. Lead time varies because some repairs need parts pulled off a donor unit or a control card pulled off the electronics bench, so we only commit to timing once a tech has the unit in hand.
Phone or email with whatever you have on the unit: a Denison or Parker Denison part number, a serial number, or a photo of the nameplate.
Once the unit arrives, a tech opens it, inspects internals or board condition, and runs it on the hydraulic stand or electronic bench to confirm what failed.
We call back with the cost and a rough turnaround. Nothing happens without your sign-off.
Failed components are replaced from inventory or off donors, the unit is verified under load, and it ships back to you.
Bench Verification
Repaired Denison valves are checked on the hydraulic test stands. Control cards are tested under load on the electronic bench. Flow, pressure gain, response, null, and signal output are all verified against documented procedures for the family.
Inventory & Parts Pool
NC Servo's in-house inventory holds over 19,000 valves and drives accumulated since 1975, including a steady share of Denison and Parker Denison hardware from both eras. That pool is where the shop pulls aftermarket parts and donor components for older Denison Hydraulics units that Parker no longer services.
Repair Scope
NC Servo works on the valve and card hardware: the body, spool, pilot stage, coils, control-card board components, and connectors. Hydraulic system design, fluid selection, and getting the unit back on the machine stay with your team or your installer. We do not repair Denison hydraulic pumps.
More on Denison Repair
Denison hardware often shares a machine with valves and electronics from related brands. The pages below cover related coverage, the Parker side of the family, and other valve work.
The full range of servo and proportional valve repair NC Servo handles, across the brands that come through the shop.
How the shop approaches industrial hydraulic valve work in general, including exchange and donor-parts options.
The other side of the Denison story. Useful when your unit is labeled Parker or Parker Denison rather than Denison alone.
When component-level repair makes sense versus buying new or rebuilt.
Give us a call with whatever is on the nameplate, even if it just says Denison from before the Parker era. We will check the shelf, and if we have a rebuilt match you can swap your old one for a discount. If we do not, we can suggest a comparable valve or repair the one you have.
FAQ
A few things customers ask before sending a unit in. Anything not covered, give us a call at 734-326-6666.
No. NC Servo Technology is an independent, third-party repair facility and is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Parker Hannifin, Denison, or any related entities. All Parker and Denison trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Yes. Parker acquired Denison Hydraulics in 2003. Hardware shipped before that carries the Denison name; newer units carry Parker, and transitional units carry Parker Denison. We work on either. Send the part number off the nameplate and we will tell you what we have.
Servo valves, proportional directional control valves, proportional flow control valves, and electronic control cards / electro-hydraulic system controllers. We do not repair Denison hydraulic pumps.
Most failures are hardware, and the unit comes back working with its program intact. Corrupted programs are rare; if one is already corrupted before the unit reaches us, that's the one thing we can't recover.
It varies. NC Servo is a small independent shop, and lead time depends on the unit, what is wrong with it, and whether parts have to come off a donor. Give us a call once the valve or card ships in, and we can give a current estimate after a tech has looked at it.
If the valve or card is not fixable, we will let you know and help source a replacement: a rebuilt match if we have one on the shelf, or a comparable Denison, Parker Denison, or cross-brand alternative.
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.

Independent Repair Shop. Not Van Dorn.
Independent third-party repair of hydraulic valves off Van Dorn injection molding machines: servo valves, proportional valves, directional, pressure, and flow control bodies. Whether the valve wears a Van Dorn nameplate or a Bosch / Vickers OEM-integrated label, the bench work is the same. Backed by a 19,000+ unit in-house inventory we pull aftermarket and donor parts from. NC Servo is not affiliated with Van Dorn. Working on this kind of hardware since 1975.
Brand Reality
Van Dorn was an American injection molding machine builder out of Cleveland, Ohio. The brand still shows up on machines in plants across North America. The hydraulic valves on a Van Dorn machine were sometimes Van Dorn-branded and sometimes OEM-integrated parts from third-party valve makers. The bench work is the same regardless of whose label is on the side.
Service Coverage
Whatever valve came off your Van Dorn machine, the shop opens it, finds what failed, and rebuilds it at the component level using parts from inventory or pulled off donor units when needed.
Servo valves and proportional directional valves used for injection speed, clamp pressure, and back-pressure control on the molding cycle.
Pressure control and flow control valves on the hydraulic power unit, plus directional bodies on the manifold side.
Bosch, Vickers, and other valve brands that came in as part of the original Van Dorn build. Same bench, same rebuild.
Van Dorn Coverage
We are a small repair shop, not a Van Dorn distributor. The categories below are simply what comes through often enough to be familiar. If the part number on your unit is not in this list, send it anyway. We work on what we can.
Common Faults
A description of the symptom and the molding-cycle stage where it happens helps the diagnosis. The categories below cover the kinds of trouble that come in across Van Dorn molding-machine valves.
| Pilot stage and feedback | Pilot-pressure null shift, contamination in the pilot path, feedback wire wear, or signal drift on closed-loop servo valves. |
|---|---|
| Spool and body | Spool wear, contamination scoring, sticky spool action, internal leakage past the spool, or seal failure on injection and clamp circuits. |
| Coils and driver electronics | Burned proportional coils, failed onboard driver cards, blown output stages, or open windings on the pilot stage. |
| Molding-cycle wear | Heat damage from running near process temperatures, contamination evidence from old hydraulic fluid, and seal hardening from years of cyclic operation. |
Repair Path
Most Van Dorn jobs follow the same four steps. Lead time varies because some repairs need parts pulled off a donor unit, so we only commit to timing once a tech has the valve on the bench.
Phone or email with the part number, the Van Dorn machine model, and a quick note on which part of the molding cycle the valve sits in.
Once the unit arrives, a tech opens it, inspects spool and pilot, and runs it on the hydraulic stand to confirm what failed.
We call back with the cost and a rough turnaround. Nothing happens without your sign-off.
Failed components are replaced from inventory or off donors, the valve is verified under pressure, and the unit ships back.
Bench Verification
Repaired Van Dorn valves are checked on the hydraulic test stands before they leave. Flow, pressure gain, response, null, and leakage are verified against documented procedures for the family.
Inventory & Parts Pool
