← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic actuator supporting a robotic arm experiences rapid control signal fluctuations at high inertial loads?
A)Actuator seal premature degradation✓
B)Flow rate sensor saturation
C)Increased static friction torque
D)Localized frame structural yielding
💡 Explanation
Rapid cycling degrades actuator seals due to hysteretic heating from the friction of the seal material repeatedly sliding across the piston surface, causing premature *dynamic seal wear*. Therefore seal failure is likely rather than sensor saturation because the inertial load prevents stable flow feedback.
