Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator's return line lacks adequate back pressure, and its load rapidly decreases?

💡 Explanation

When back pressure is inadequate and the load decreases rapidly, excessive vacuum can occur within the cylinder causing cavitation; small bubbles form and violently collapse. Therefore cavitation damage results, rather than overheating,seal failure, or reduced torque which arise form different hydraulic issues.
