← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a hydraulic proportional valve's pilot stage experiences excessive silting?
A)Reduced actuator speed control precision✓
B)Increased system bulk modulus and stiffness
C)Decreased fluid viscosity index and lubricity
D)Elevated thermal conductivity within compensator
💡 Explanation
When a pilot stage experiences silting, the restriction creates non-linear flow behavior, impeding accurate control because the valve's response deviates from the command signal. Therefore, reduced actuator speed control precision results, rather than changes in bulk modulus, viscosity index modification, or altered thermal conductivity which depend on bulk fluid properties.
