← TechnologyWhich effect arises when a closed-loop hydraulic actuator positioning a robotic arm experiences excessive gain?
A)Increased static friction at joints
B)Oscillatory movement around setpoint✓
C)Decreased fluid bulk modulus
D)Elevated internal gear backlash
💡 Explanation
When excessive gain occurs in a closed-loop system, the actuator overreacts to small errors because correcting force amplifies, leading to cyclical overshooting and undershooting position. Therefore, an oscillatory movement results, rather than friction, decreased modulus, or backlash which would create different types of errors.
