← TechnologyWhich consequence results when exceeding the rated flow in a hydraulic actuator during rapid cylinder extension?
A)Increased internal fluid temperature
B)Decreased actuator locking pressure
C)Unintended directional valve spool shift
D)Cavitation-induced component surface erosion✓
💡 Explanation
Cavitation appears due to the excessive flow demand leading to vapor bubble implosions near the actuator surfaces because the fluid cannot keep up with the piston demand; therefore, surface erosion occurs, rather than a simple temperature increase found when flow limits allow sufficient heat dissipation.
