Which outcome is most likely when hydraulic actuator speed exceeds the control valve response time?

💡 Explanation

When actuator speed outpaces valve response, the rapid volume change creates localized vacuum because valve cannot supply fluid fast enough, leading to cavitation. Therefore cavitation within the valve occurs, rather than pressure spikes, stalls or thermal runaway which require different root causes like rapid deceleration, blockage or continuous overload.
