Technology

Which risk increases when a proportional control valve in a hydraulic actuator system experiences excessive spool valve friction?

A)Actuator dithering from pressure oscillations
B)System overheating from increased flow resistance
C)Component corrosion from stagnant fluid zones
D)Sensor saturation from elevated temperatures

💡 Explanation

When a control valve experiences excessive static friction, stick-slip motion occurs because force required to overcome friction exceeds controller precision, resulting in jerky movements and actuator dithering. Therefore, actuator dithering results, rather than overheating, corrosion, or sensor fault which involve different mechanisms and dependencies.
