Which risk increases in a hydraulic actuator when valve timing exacerbates negative pressure?

A)Intensified cavitation erosion within cylinder
B)Increased thermal expansion of housing
C)Reduced fluid bulk modulus stability
D)Elevated risk of static seal extrusion

💡 Explanation

Cavitation intensifies because locally reduced pressure allows vapor pockets to form, then collapse violently during compression (cavitation erosion). Hydraulic systems using incompressible fluid amplify this effect; therefore, cavitation erosion is the risk, rather than thermal expansion without phase transition.
