Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator's position feedback signal is lost?

💡 Explanation

When position feedback is lost, a closed-loop control system fails because the controller cannot correct deviations from setpoint, leading to actuator runaway. Therefore uncontrolled motion results, rather than pump inefficiency, fluid contamination or premature wear, which require different mechanisms.
