Abstract

A hydraulic servo drive device for driving a swing mechanism of a variable geometry turbocharger includes a servo piston connected to a driveshaft of the swing mechanism and a pilot spool that is accommodated in a center hole of the servo piston and slides by pilot pressure. A first hydraulic chamber to and from which pressure oil flows are provided in a housing. The servo piston separately includes a pressure port for introducing pressure oil from an outside, a first piston port for intercommunicating the center hole and the first hydraulic chamber, a second piston port for intercommunicating the center hole and the second hydraulic chamber, and a return port for exiting pressure oil.
