← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an electrohydraulic actuator's servovalve deadband increases in a flight control system?
A)Reduced stability due to limit cycling✓
B)Excessive heat generation in the actuator
C)Increased sensitivity to external loads
D)Loss of redundancy in the valve control
💡 Explanation
When servovalve deadband increases, the actuator experiences a range of input signals where no correction occurs, causing limit cycling because control is delayed and unsteady, potentially exciting structural modes. Therefore, reduced stability results, rather than overheating, sensitivity, or loss of redundancy which require different valve failure modes.
