← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an electrohydraulic servo valve spool jams?
A)Uncontrolled actuator drift✓
B)Increased system bandwidth
C)Reduced pump cavitation risk
D)Improved thermal regulation
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled actuator drift results because of the **stick-slip friction** induced spool stiction preventing intended metering controlling of hydraulic flow, therefore the actuator is vulnerable to external forces and internal leakages shifts, rather than remaining stationary as dictated by the input signal.
