← TechnologyWhich failure occurs when piloting a large hydraulic actuator system experiences asymmetric valve spool sticking?
A)Load reversal from actuator overspeed
B)Pressure amplification due to resonance
C)System oscillation from uneven response✓
D)Thermal runaway from fluid compression
💡 Explanation
When spool sticking of the control valves is asymmetric, the hydraulic actuator system experiences uneven responsiveness because different actuators move at unequal speeds, inducing forces leading to feedback oscillation. Therefore system oscillation results, rather than load reversal, pressure amplification, or thermal runaway, which require different circumstances.
