Which outcome increases if a hydraulic actuator experiences sustained cavitation in the return line?

💡 Explanation

When cavitation occurs in the return line, gas bubbles enter the hydraulic fluid because localized vacuum is generated promoting vaporization, reducing overall bulk modulus and leading to spongy control motion and diminished force transfer. Therefore reduced actuator responsiveness results, rather than instability margins increasing or maintaining fluid dynamics, both achieveable with stable hydraulics.
