← TechnologyWhich instability increases when a hydraulic actuator's positioning control loop oscillates?
A)Valve spool hysteresis worsens immediately✓
B)Fluid bulk modulus rises sharply
C)Actuator rod buckling risk decreases
D)System static friction inherently diminishes
💡 Explanation
Hysteresis worsens because the valve spool's continuous rapid movement around its null position causes increased energy dissipation and wear within the valve's internal geometry. Therefore, hysteresis increases, rather than exhibiting improved fluid properties while oscillating.
