Which outcome occurs when a proportional control valve stalls in a hydraulic actuator system managing high inertial loads?

💡 Explanation

When a proportional valve stalls while managing a high inertial load, fluid deceleration is abruptly halted causing pressure intensification occurs because the energy transfers into pressure spikes near the valve, potentially damaging components or causing instability. Therefore pressure intensification results rather than runaway, increased stiffness, or cavitation reduction, requiring different system failures.
