← TechnologyWhich consequence results when aggressive spool valve modulation causes underlap in hydraulic actuator control?
A)High-frequency pressure oscillations occur✓
B)Actuator rod stiffens undesirably
C)Systemic thermal runaway initiates
D)Reservoir fluid chemical imbalances form
💡 Explanation
High-frequency pressure oscillations develop via a pilot-stage instability. The underlap means the spool is more sensitive, causing rapid system fluctuations because the **pilot valve gain** gets too high, therefore pressure oscillations worsen, rather than smooth damping from the pilot.
