Technology

Which undesirable outcome increases in hydraulic actuator speed regulation, specifically during rapid deceleration?

A)Increased risk of cavitation damage
B)Reduced actuator response time
C)Elevated oil viscosity and drag
D)Improved servo valve linearity

💡 Explanation

Cavitation risk increases because rapid deceleration induces a sudden pressure drop in the hydraulic fluid; this vaporizes, creating bubbles that collapse violently due to the inertia of the fluid during flow changes – i.e., the mechanism of inertial cavitation – therefore, resulting in damage, rather than the control system improving or viscosity changing.
