Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator designed for precise linear positioning experiences significant 'stick-slip'?

💡 Explanation

Increased control system instability follows loss of precise movement. The inherent non-linearity of **static friction** triggers oscillations measured in controller outputs. Precise control loops demand accurate, real-time feedback; therefore, instability increases because the steady control input generates oscillation, rather than desired movement profile.
