Which outcome occurs when the poppet valve in a pneumatic actuator experiences stiction?

A)Unpredictable or jerky movement of actuator
B)Increased air consumption due to constant venting
C)Decreased actuator force due to pressure loss
D)Excessive heat generation within pneumatic lines

💡 Explanation

When a poppet valve experiences stiction, that means static friction prevents smooth release, then releases suddenly when force overcomes the stiction, this causes jerky motion. Therefore unpredictable actuator movement occurs, rather than constant venting, decreased force, or overheating, which involve air leakages or physical obstructions.
