← ScienceWhich risk increases when a hydraulic actuator approaches its maximum stroke limit?
A)Fluid overheating due to turbulent flow
B)Component yielding from pressure intensification✓
C)Seal failure from excessive deformation
D)Pump cavitation from restricted outflow
💡 Explanation
When an actuator nears its stroke limit, pressure intensification occurs because the reduced volume resists further fluid flow, leading to greatly increased pressure and stress. Therefore component yielding risk increases, rather than overheating, seal failure, or pump cavitation which involve different mechanisms.
