← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic actuator's quick exhaust valve fails closed during rapid cycling?
A)Increased energy consumption from bypass flow
B)Overshoot in actuator position control
C)Actuator seal damage failure rate✓
D)Pump cavitation due to backpressure effects
💡 Explanation
When a quick exhaust valve fails closed, the returning hydraulic fluid is forced through a smaller orifice, raising pressure and increasing stress; therefore faster actuator seal stress results, rather than energy consumption, positional overshoot or cavitation, which result from separate causes than actuator seal stress.
