Valve sizing and performance estimation for electrohydraulic servo systems is a necessary
step if the required performance is to be assured. On some occasions the valve itself
provides a natural limit to performance, either in terms of maximum flow rates and therefore
actuator velocities, or else in terms of the dynamic performance (as described by the valve
frequency response). In the later case the valve performance limits the control gain and so
also the closed loop dynamic behaviour and static accuracy.
