Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator suddenly stops rapidly due to cavitation?

A)Contaminant ingress due to vacuum
B)Bearing wear from prolonged lubricant starvation
C)Overpressure spike damaging downstream components
D)Reduced bulk modulus due to fluid aeration

💡 Explanation

When a hydraulic actuator stops suddenly from cavitation, the imploding voids quickly decelerate fluid creating a pressure surge because momentum transfers causing a damaging overpressure spike. Thus risks increased pressure impacting downstream components, rather than ingress, wear, or aeration which occur through unrelated processes.
