Servotronics

Servotronics is a New York company that makes servo valves for aerospace. A servo valve is a precise valve that controls the flow of fluid in a system. The company makes single-stage and two-stage versions. Its markets are aerospace, defense, industrial and MRO. MRO means maintenance, repair and overhaul.

The site says the valves suit hot places with strong vibration. They are used in several aircraft systems. These include environmental control systems, fuel metering systems, hydromechanical systems and auxiliary power units. They also serve anti-ice systems. The company says it supplies servo valves for commercial airplanes, helicopters and business jets.

Servotronics says it works differently from catalog suppliers. Its engineers work with the customer's engineers. Together they set up flexible building blocks to match the customer's specification. The aim is a design that fits the project at a fair price and lead time.

The company asks customers to send details of upcoming valve projects through a request for information form. Its engineers use fast modeling tools to show early designs. The site says customers typically get a first technical reply in less than ten days.

A newer product is the two-stage jet pipe servo valve. It targets hydraulic aircraft systems. The site also names turret controls on tanks as a use. The company says it plans to grow its range for new uses and new partners.

On quality, the site shows ISO 9001 and AS9100 registration. AS9100 is a quality standard for the aerospace industry. The company also talks about lean manufacturing, which cuts waste and extra steps. It describes zero-defect manufacturing goals.

The company lists values such as respect, focus on the customer, working together, taking ownership and finding better ways. It has a corporate office in Elma, New York, and a second site called Servo South in Franklinville, New York. The website also has pages on products, markets, process, careers and benefits.
