← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic relief valve's pilot stage filter becomes clogged?
A)System pressure oscillations occur✓
B)Actuator velocity unexpectedly increases
C)Hydraulic fluid overheating decreases
D)Pump cavitation risk unexpectedly decreases
💡 Explanation
When the pilot stage filter clogs, the pilot valve's ability to quickly respond to pressure changes is hindered because fluid flow is restricted, leading to pressure oscillations within the main stage. Therefore, system pressure oscillations result, rather than increased actuator speed, decreased overheating,or pump cavitation reduction, which are tied to completely different failure modes.
