Abstract

The invention relates to hydraulic control apparatus for a servomotor of the type utilized for vehicle steering systems. Such apparatus has a control circuit controlled by a manually operated device such as a steering wheel and a power circuit connected between the servomotor and a power source such as a hydraulic pump. The power circuit includes resetting apparatus for throttling the return flow branch in a manner so that forces applied to the servomotor in the same direction as actuation are absorbed with a minimum of reactionary movement by the valves on the return flow side of the apparatus.
