← TechnologyWhich effect occurs when a hydraulic actuator's spool valve experiences excessive internal leakage?
A)Reduced actuator speed under load✓
B)Increased actuator force at stall
C)Decreased system operating temperature
D)Elevated pump discharge pressure
💡 Explanation
When excessive internal leakage occurs within a spool valve, fluid bypasses the actuator because of reduced flow resistance, thus decreasing the volumetric efficiency, leading to reduced actuator speed when under load. Therefore reduced actuator speed occurs, rather than increased stalled foce, decreased temp, or elevated system pressure which require increased flows.
