Which mechanism causes reduced hydraulic actuator speed following prolonged storage?

A)Viscosity increases in hydraulic fluid
B)Air dissolves out of the fluid
C)Internal seals excessively swell closed
D)Fluid inertia overcomes pressure losses

💡 Explanation

Hydraulic speed decreases because increasing fluid viscosity impacts flow within the actuator. Polymerization increases viscosity, reducing flow rather than air separating as gas, because seals swelling closed is a separate failure mode.
