In a hydraulic robotic arm, which outcome results from excessive servo valve hunting?

💡 Explanation

Increased wear on the hydraulic actuator's seals and components results from servo valve hunting, triggering fatigue. The mechanism accelerating this wear is stress cycling because oscillating pressure changes weaken materials therefore compromising structural integrity early, rather than friction/thermal effects alone.
