How old is your servo valve?

As part of Moog’s 50th anniversary of operations in Europe, the company has launched a contest to find the oldest operating Moog servo valve.

“Moog’s servo valves have a legendary reputation for reliability, and it’s not uncommon to find our valves in service for 25 years or more in tough environments like steel production, gas turbines and industrial machinery,” Gary Parks, group vice president, said.

The contest is open to anyone who can find a Moog servo valve in operation on a machine. Here’s how it works:

  • Using a smartphone, take a photo of the valve including the serial number on the nameplate. Moog will use this information to check the date of the valve.
  • Upload the photo and complete a short form at http://oldestvalve.moogglobalsupport.com/.

Up for grabs is an Amazon voucher worth US$500; second and third place will also win Amazon vouchers. Even if a contestant’s valve is not the oldest operational valve or if they have multiple valves, participants can still qualify to win five US$50 Amazon Vouchers that Moog will draw each month.
