← TechnologyWhich unstable oscillation arises when servo-valve-controlled hydraulic actuator performance degrades?
A)Chatter due to accumulator impedance✓
B)Backlash amplifying control harmonics
C)Thermal drift in the amplifier
D)Flow saturation induces deadband
💡 Explanation
Chatter emerges because the accumulator's *impedance mismatch* causes pressure pulsations when the servo-valve modulates oil flow with degraded response. Therefore, the actuator dithers and oscillates under slight loads, rather than executing commanded positions, unlike other servo faults.
