Technology

Which 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.
