← TechnologyWhich action prevents cavitation in a hydraulic actuator rapidly extending a heavy load?
A)Increasing the hydraulic fluid viscosity
B)Installing an anti-cavitation check valve✓
C)Reducing the actuator bore diameter
D)Using a non-compressible fluid
💡 Explanation
When a hydraulic actuator extends rapidly with a heavy load, load-induced vacuum can cause cavitation due to sudden pressure drops. Installing an anti-cavitation check valve allows fluid to refill the cylinder, preventing bubble formation. Therefore, the valve prevents cavitation rather than viscosity increase, cylinder change, or fluid modification which address other issues.
