← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a pneumatic control valve's exhaust port becomes significantly restricted?
A)Actuator stalling due to backpressure✓
B)Excessive supply pressure from regulator boost
C)Seal failure due to venturi effect
D)Thermal runaway in valve solenoid
💡 Explanation
When exhaust becomes restricted, the evacuating air experiences increased backpressure on cylinder which opposes force development because force is a function of cylinder cross section and delta-p, leading the actuator stall. Therefore actuator stalling increases, rather than supply overpressure, leakage/venturi effects, or thermal runaway which rely on alternative valve mechanisms.
