← TechnologyWhich hazard is enhanced when hydraulic actuator seals shear?
A)Uncontrolled rapid cylinder movement✓
B)Decreased fluid bulk modulus
C)Increased operational energy efficiency
D)Improved system thermal regulation
💡 Explanation
Sheared actuator seals lead to bypass flow due to compromised sealing. Thus, uncontrolled rapid cylinder movement occurs as pressurized oil prematurely crosses actuator chambers rather than proportionally driving mechanical action. Therefore, position control is severely degraded, rather than improved efficiency.
