Technology

Which risk increases when a hydraulic pump in a robotic arm exceeds its maximum duty cycle?

A)Cavitation from fluid starvation
B)Overheating of power transistors
C)Seal failure from thermal expansion
D)Electromagnetic interference with sensors

💡 Explanation

When a hydraulic pump exceeds its rated duty cycle, heat builds up due to continuous operation and friction, causing significant thermal expansion in elastomeric seals leading to decreased compression force. Therefore seal failure occurs, rather than cavitation, overheating electrics or EMI, which require different system faults.
