← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an undersized accumulator reacts to sudden load spikes in a hydraulic forging press?
A)Increased system component mechanical fatigue✓
B)Decreased hydraulic fluid bulk modulus
C)Reduced actuator thermal expansion rate
D)Compensated intensification of cavitation erosion
💡 Explanation
Fatigue of hydraulic components increases because, the absence, or under sizing, of an accumulator leads to pressure ripple amplification. The accumulators Pressure ripple absorption does not occur, so valve stress increases rather than maintaining optimal conditions. This pressure fluctuation causes hydraulic component fatigue.
