Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator's flow exceeds the control valve's design in a robotic arm?

💡 Explanation

Actuator velocity becomes non-linear because spool valve saturation introduces a flow limit resulting in reduced gains and unpredictable servo behavior. This effect occurs because of flow saturation, therefore, the dynamics become unstable rather than improving linearly.
