Which outcome occurs when contaminants block a hydraulic actuator's servovalve?

💡 Explanation

A blocked servovalve causes increased deadband because it restricts fluid flow to the actuator, therefore the actuator requires a larger input signal change to initiate movement, rather than maintaining precision control with small signal changes.
