Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator's spool valve experiences significant internal friction at high operating frequencies?

💡 Explanation

Pressure overshoot and instability occur because the spool valve's sticking caused by internal friction obstructs the valve's ability to precisely control flow, leading to an overcorrection response; therefore, instability grows rather than smoother flow because the valve gets stuck.
