← TechnologyWhich 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.
