← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a positive feedback loop occurs within a proportional hydraulic reducing valve?
A)System pressure oscillates unpredictably✓
B)Actuator speed becomes path-dependent
C)Fluid temperature remains stable
D)Valve spool reaches steady-state position
💡 Explanation
Unstable oscillation occurs because the proportional valve's pressure feedback is amplified by the mechanical linkage, creating a sustained oscillation. Therefore, system pressure oscillates unpredictably, rather than settling to a defined pressure as designed if neutral feedback occurred.
