Abstract
An electromechanical actuator having a servo valve is described. The servo valve has a valve housing having a wall surrounding the servo valve, the valve housing having a first end and a second end with the servo valve positioned between the first end and the second end. The valve housing also includes at least one debris vent positioned on an exterior surface of the wall between the servo valve and the first end of the valve housing, the debris vent having a first dimension; and, at least one fluid vent positioned on the exterior surface of the wall between the servo valve and the second end of the valve housing, the fluid vent having a second dimension. The first dimension is smaller than the second dimension.

An electromechanical actuator, comprising:
- a servo valve;
- a valve housing having a wall surrounding the servo valve, the valve housing having a first end at an upstream end of the valve housing and a second end at a downstream end of the valve housing with the servo valve positioned between the first end and the second end, the valve housing comprising:
- at least one debris vent extending from an exterior surface of the wall to an interior surface of the wall and positioned between the servo valve and the first end of the valve housing, the debris vent having a first dimension;
- and,
- at least one fluid vent extending from the exterior surface of the wall to the interior surface of the wall and positioned between the servo valve and the second end of the valve housing, the fluid vent having a second dimension;
- wherein the first dimension is smaller than the second dimension.
