Which hazardous outcome occurs when a pneumatic actuator's exhaust port suddenly gets blocked during operation?

A)Uncontrolled rapid extension/retraction
B)Actuator body rupture from overpressure
C)System-wide pressure drop and shutdown
D)Delayed cycling due to increased friction

💡 Explanation

When the exhaust port is blocked, the compressed air normally expelled during retraction/extension remains trapped, building up pressure on one side of the piston; this causes an uncontrolled rush when other side gets pressurized. Therefore rapid uncontrolled linear motion results, rather than rupture, system shutdown, or delayed cycling relying on different restrictions.
