Which consequence results when excessive 'hunting' occurs within a proportional valve controlled hydraulic actuator?

💡 Explanation

Excessive hunting induces fluctuating pressure because dithering reduces static friction within the valve, causing oscillations. Therefore, mechanical stress on the actuator seals and components raises exponentially, leading to premature pump failure and reduced lifespan, rather than increased hydraulic precision.
