Which effect occurs in hydraulic actuator control loop when position feedback signal is corrupted by noise?

💡 Explanation

When noisy position feedback corrupts a hydraulic actuator's control loop, the servovalve reacts to spurious error signals, resulting in oscillations around the target. Therefore limit cycle oscillations result; runaway, stiction and thermal damage require distinct control system malfunctions which generate different dynamics.
