Which detrimental outcome results from sharp pressure drops in high-speed axial piston pumps?

A)Erosion via cavitation damage
B)Increased lubricant film thickness
C)Improved volumetric efficiency
D)Reduced swash plate oscillations

💡 Explanation

Erosion via cavitation damage results because imploding vapor bubbles from rapid pressure drop exceed the material's tensile strength. This is due to nucleation of these bubbles, therefore the material degrades gradually, rather than benefiting from lubrication or efficiency improvements.
