← TechnologyWhich actuator failure mode results when the hydraulic fluid bulk modulus significantly decreases?
A)Reduced servo-valve responsiveness✓
B)Increased actuator temperature gradient
C)Stiction within the linkages
D)Unwanted frequency synchronization
💡 Explanation
Diminished hydraulic fluid bulk modulus causes increased compressibility via fluid aeration leading to slower control response via decreased damping ability with the fluid around the position sensor. Therefore, servo-valve response diminishes due to decreased actuator stiffness, rather than thermal runaway or mechanical causes, because of how the aeration affects the hydraulic system.
