← TechnologyWhich undesirable oscillation occurs when an actuator connected to long hydraulic lines experiences over-correction?
A)Water hammer effect amplifying feedback✓
B)Helmholtz resonance due to compressibility
C)Stiction causing discontinuous movement
D)Fluid lock halting actuator entirely
💡 Explanation
Water hammer effect amplifies feedback because rapid valve closures create pressure waves that propagate down the long lines, leading to actuator over-correction and oscillation. Therefore oscillation increases, rather than stiction or a fluid lock, which halt movement under different conditions.
