Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator approaches its maximum stroke limit?

💡 Explanation

When an actuator nears its stroke limit, pressure intensification occurs because the reduced volume resists further fluid flow, leading to greatly increased pressure and stress. Therefore component yielding risk increases, rather than overheating, seal failure, or pump cavitation which involve different mechanisms.
