Which outcome occurs when the proportional valve spool exhibits excessive static friction in a high-speed hydraulic actuator?

💡 Explanation

When the valve spool has high static friction, stiction overcomes commanded small position changes limiting fine movement, because force applied is not proportional. Therefore reduced positional accuracy results, rather than overheating, increased energy, or reduced force, which arise from different failure modes in the system.
