Which risk increases in hydrostatic transmission when rapid directional changes lead to inertial cavitation?

💡 Explanation

When rapid directional changes generate inertial cavitation, vapor bubbles form and collapse violently because pressure drops below vapor pressure threshold, leading to shock waves that erode the surfaces in the hydraulic pump. Therefore pump damage results, rather than actuator instability, valve stiction, or accumulator rupture which results from different mechanisms.
