Which outcome results when instability undermines closed-loop hydraulic control?

💡 Explanation

Actuator oscillations may develop in precision systems, because negative feedback attempting overshoot correction causes increased control signal excursions using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) gain, resulting therefore in induced oscillations, rather than damped movements or stable equilibrium.
