← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when hydraulic actuator velocity exceeds the control valve's maximum spool response rate?
A)Cavitation within the actuator chamber✓
B)Thermal expansion of hydraulic fluid
C)Erosion of valve spool edges
D)Increased system pressure oscillations
💡 Explanation
When actuator velocity exceeds the valve spool's response, pressure drops rapidly because the valve cannot supply fluid quickly enough to the extending chamber, causing cavitation. Therefore, cavitation occurs within the actuator chamber, rather than expansion, erosion, or oscillations, requiring different operating conditions.
