← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator's flow exceeds the control valve's design in a robotic arm?
A)Actuator velocity becomes non-linear✓
B)Pressure amplification becomes exponentially greater
C)Backlash decreases in gear couplings
D)Seals experience reduced thermal expansion
💡 Explanation
Actuator velocity becomes non-linear because spool valve saturation introduces a flow limit resulting in reduced gains and unpredictable servo behavior. This effect occurs because of flow saturation, therefore, the dynamics become unstable rather than improving linearly.
