← TechnologyWhich outcome from a stuck valve results when a hydraulic actuator extends fully?
A)System over-pressurization and component damage✓
B)Reduced actuator speed and efficiency
C)Increased fluid viscosity and sludge
D)Uncontrolled actuator oscillations occur
💡 Explanation
System over-pressurization and damage results, specifically if the relief valve fails, because the positive displacement pump continues fluid delivery with nowhere to go; therefore pressure increases dramatically rather than the system bypassing fluid or controlling speed.
