Which risk increases when a hydraulic proportional valve experiences significant pilot stage contamination?

💡 Explanation

When pilot stage contamination occurs, the spool friction rises because particulate restricts fine movements, increasing the deadband and hysteresis. Therefore, reduced accuracy results, rather than overheating, cavitation, or structural failure which are results of distinctly different valve malfunctions or external system issues.
