← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a proportional control valve in a high-pressure hydraulic system experiences excessive internal leakage?
A)Reduced actuator speed and positioning accuracy✓
B)Increased system pressure and component stress
C)Fluid overheating and accelerated pump wear
D)Sudden valve closure and system instability
💡 Explanation
When internal leakage becomes excessive, the intended flow control degrades, because the valve cannot accurately direct the hydraulic fluid to the actuator, leading to lower speed and incorrect positioning. Therefore actuator speed decreases, rather than overpressure, overheating, or instability all of which require related, but different causal chains.
