Technology

Which risk increases when a proportional valve in a hydraulic servo system experiences excessive internal leakage?

A)Reduced actuator bandwidth due to deadband
B)Increased thermal stress on the pump motor
C)Accelerated wear of hydraulic cylinder seals
D)Catastrophic failure of the accumulator bladder

💡 Explanation

When internal leakage occurs, the proportional valve loses precise control because the intended flow rate does not reach the actuator; this deadband requires higher input signals to initiate movement. Therefore, reduced actuator bandwidth results, rather than thermal stress, seal wear, or accumulator failure which involve totally distinct mechanisms and conditions.
