Which mechanism protects a high-pressure hydraulic actuator circuit from cavitation during rapid cylinder retraction?

💡 Explanation

When a cylinder retracts rapidly, a makeup valve opens to supplement fluid flow into the piston because the pump cannot supply sufficient volume instantly, preventing the pressure drop that can induce cavitation. Therefore a makeup valve prevents cavitation, rather than relief or flow control valves which operate based on other constraints.
