← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a hydraulic actuator demands maximum force/flow?
A)Increased system fluid temperatures
B)Actuator seal elastomer degradation
C)Reduced actuator velocity and precision
D)System-wide pump component cavitation✓
💡 Explanation
System-wide pump cavitation appears because the **vapor pressure** is lower than inlet pressure causing vapor bubble formation at its inlet; therefore efficiency decreases, and components suffer damage, rather than primarily affecting the actuator directly.
