Which outcome occurs when a pneumatic actuator's exhaust port regulator fails closed during rapid cycling?

💡 Explanation

When the regulator fails closed, the pressurized air inside the actuator cylinder cannot rapidly evacuate during the return stroke, because the air cushions against the piston, causing erratic movement. Therefore 'chatter' results, rather than reduced speed, corrosion or heat, which arise from other failures.
