← TechnologyWhich outcome develops when a pneumatic control valve’s exhaust port becomes obstructed when throttling airflow?
A)Actuator speed becomes erratic✓
B)System pressure oscillates rapidly
C)Valve poppet will experience increased erosion
D)Supply line pressure spikes dangerously
💡 Explanation
When exhaust restriction occurs, the actuator movement becomes irregular because backpressure limits its speed and control, causing oscillation due to uneven force application. Therefore an erratic speed results, not pressure fluctuations, valve erosion, or line spikes all of which require independent malfunctions.
