Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator's check valve fails closed during retraction?

💡 Explanation

When the check valve fails closed, preventing fluid outflow during retraction, pressure intensification occurs because the piston's movement compresses fluid in a sealed chamber exceeding system pressure limits. Therefore pressure intensification results, rather than runaway, cavitation, or stalling which demand alternative mechanisms.
