Which risk increases when an accumulator in a hydraulic system experiences excessive cycling rates?

💡 Explanation

When an accumulator cycles rapidly, the flexible bladder or diaphragm undergoes repeated expansion and contraction due to pressure changes, accelerating fatigue due to cyclic stress. Therefore, bladder/diaphragm fatigue increases, rather than thermal runaway, increased compressibility, or reduced response which have different causes.
