OBE EL with LVDT feedback
Closed-loop OBE EL proportional valves. Spool service, driver-card rebuild, LVDT signal verification, and full stroke testing on the hydraulic stand.
Independent Repair Shop. Not Yuken.
Independent third-party repair of Yuken hardware: servo valves, OBE EL series proportional valves with LVDT position feedback, linear-actuated servo valves, and directional, pressure, and flow control bodies. Japanese closed-loop hydraulic specialist. Backed by a 19,000+ unit in-house inventory we pull aftermarket and donor parts from. NC Servo is not affiliated with Yuken Kogyo. Working on this kind of hardware since 1975.
Closed-Loop Walkthrough
Yuken's OBE EL series uses an LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) to measure spool position and feed it back to the onboard driver. Repair work has to verify each link in that loop. Below are the four stages we check before signing off on the bench.
Service Coverage
Each Yuken valve is opened, inspected, and rebuilt at the component level. Failed parts come from inventory or off donor units. Onboard driver cards get bench-tested under load before reassembly.
Closed-loop OBE EL proportional valves. Spool service, driver-card rebuild, LVDT signal verification, and full stroke testing on the hydraulic stand.
Yuken electrohydraulic servo valves and linear-actuated servo bodies. Pilot stage cleaning, spool service, coil rebuild, seal kits, and bench testing.
Yuken pressure valves, flow valves, and directional control bodies. Body internals, poppet seats, and signal-conditioning electronics.
Yuken Series
We are a small repair shop, not a Yuken distributor. The series below are simply what comes through often enough to be familiar. If your part number is not on 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 Yuken servo and proportional valves.
| LVDT and feedback | LVDT signal drift, broken feedback wires, position-feedback null shift, or signal-conditioning faults on the OBE EL onboard driver. |
|---|---|
| Spool and body | Spool wear, contamination scoring, sticky spool action, internal leakage past the spool, or seal failure on the proportional body. |
| Coils and onboard driver | Burned proportional coils, failed onboard electronics, blown output stages, or open windings on the pilot stage. |
| Connector and electrical | Damaged or corroded connectors, cable strain at the entry point, and contamination on the connector pins after years of service. |
Repair Path
Most Yuken 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 full Yuken part-number string, a quick note on the symptom, and a photo of the nameplate if it helps.
Once the unit arrives, a tech opens it, inspects spool and LVDT (where present), 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 Yuken valves are checked on the hydraulic test stands before they leave. Flow, pressure gain, response, null, and LVDT signal are 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 OBE EL, servo, and directional Yuken bodies. That pool is where the shop pulls aftermarket parts and donor components for older Yuken units that the OEM no longer stocks.
Repair Scope
NC Servo works on the valve hardware itself: the body, spool, coils, LVDT feedback, and any onboard driver-card components. Hydraulic system design, fluid selection, and getting the valve back on the machine stay with your team or your installer.

Give us a call with the full Yuken part-number string, a photo, or a quick description of the symptom. 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 Yuken Kogyo Co., Ltd. or any related entities. All Yuken trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Yuken servo valves, OBE EL proportional valves with LVDT feedback, linear-actuated servo valves, directional control valves, pressure valves, and flow control valves. Send a part number to confirm coverage on anything not listed.
Yes. OBE EL units have integrated onboard driver cards and LVDT position feedback. We open the body, verify the LVDT signal, replace failed components on the driver card, and test the closed loop on the bench.
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 valve, what is wrong with it, and whether parts have to come off a donor unit. Give us a call once the unit ships in, and we can give a current estimate after a tech has looked at it.
If the valve 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 Yuken 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.
