← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator's spool valve experiences significant internal friction at high operating frequencies?
A)Pressure overshoot and instability✓
B)Reduced heat dissipation rate
C)Increased actuator bulk modulus
D)Improved valve laminar flow
💡 Explanation
Pressure overshoot and instability occur because the spool valve's sticking caused by internal friction obstructs the valve's ability to precisely control flow, leading to an overcorrection response; therefore, instability grows rather than smoother flow because the valve gets stuck.
