← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic actuator's bleed valve is closed too rapidly in a heavy machinery arm?
A)Pressure spikes damaging seals✓
B)Flow oscillations causing instability
C)Thermal runaway in hydraulic fluid
D)Cavitation within the actuator chamber
💡 Explanation
When a hydraulic actuator's bleed valve shuts rapidly, pressure surges occur because the fluid's momentum is suddenly stopped, creating a pressure wave that can exceed system component limits. Therefore, blown seals from pressure spikes result, rather than instability, thermal runaway, or cavitation, which depend on other trigger mechanisms.
