Which consequence results when temperature gradients develop inside a hydraulic actuator?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion leads to temporary binding because uneven heating causes components within a confined space to expand at different rates. Therefore the actuator jams; rather than other homogenous changes uniformly occurring or viscosity distribution changing.
