Technology

Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator supporting a robotic arm experiences rapid control signal fluctuations at high inertial loads?

A)Actuator seal premature degradation
B)Flow rate sensor saturation
C)Increased static friction torque
D)Localized frame structural yielding

💡 Explanation

Rapid cycling degrades actuator seals due to hysteretic heating from the friction of the seal material repeatedly sliding across the piston surface, causing premature *dynamic seal wear*. Therefore seal failure is likely rather than sensor saturation because the inertial load prevents stable flow feedback.
