    • A servovalve comprising: a fluid transfer valve assembly comprising a housing (1) having channel (60) therethrough fluidly connecting a supply port (30), a return port (34) and a control port (32) formed in the housing ; and a moveable valve spool located within the channel and arranged to regulate flow of fluid between the supply port, the return port and the control port in response to a control signal; and a drive assembly configured to axially move the valve spool relative to the fluid transfer assembly in response to the control signal to regulate the fluid flow; wherein the valve spool comprises a first spool part (40) and a second spool part (42) and the drive assembly comprises a piezoelectric actuator (50) positioned between the first and the second spool parts within the channel, the piezoelectric actuator comprising a first piezoelectric actuator element (51) having a first end (51a) around which the first spool part is mounted and a second piezoelectric actuator element (52) having a first end (52a) around which the second spool part is mounted, and each of the first and the second piezoelectric actuator elements having a second end (51b, 52b), the second ends of the first and second piezoelectric actuator elements being connected to each other, and wherein the control signal is applied to the piezoelectric actuator to cause extension or contraction of the first and second piezoelectric actuator elements according to the polarity of the signal applied to each of the elements, and to thus cause corresponding movement of the respective spool parts, the assembly comprising a first nozzle fluidly connecting the supply port and the channel (60) of the housing, and a second nozzle fluidly connecting the return port and the channel (60) of the housing, wherein expansion and contraction of the first and second piezoelectric actuator elements causes axial movement of the respective first and second spool parts relative to the first and second nozzles so as to cover or expose the respective nozzles..
