Which risk dramatically increases when hydraulic actuator's piston seal fails in closed-loop system?

A)Uncontrolled oscillation from pressure feedback
B)Actuator overheating from fluid bypass
C)Reduced efficiency due to pump cavitation
D)Contamination from external ingress

💡 Explanation

When piston seal fails in a closed-loop system, internal leakage causes unintended pressure deviations because feedback controller incorrectly compensates, driving system instablility and resulting uncontrolled oscillations. Therefore unstable oscillation becomes likely, rather over-heating or cavitation which demand higher leak rates or different mechanisms.
