← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic actuator's return line becomes significantly crimped?
A)Actuator rod buckling from backpressure✓
B)Pump cavitation from oil starvation
C)System overheating from turbulent flow
D)Reduced control valve spool response
💡 Explanation
When the return line crimps, backpressure increases on the actuator return, potentially causing the rod to buckle under excessive compressive force because the designed pressure relief is overwhelmed. Therefore rod buckling is much more likely than starvation, overheating or control valve issues each dependent of differing aspects.
