Which consequence results when aggressive spool valve modulation causes underlap in hydraulic actuator control?

💡 Explanation

High-frequency pressure oscillations develop via a pilot-stage instability. The underlap means the spool is more sensitive, causing rapid system fluctuations because the **pilot valve gain** gets too high, therefore pressure oscillations worsen, rather than smooth damping from the pilot.
