Which risk increases when an oil hydraulic system operates with sharp pressure drops near a bent restrictor?

💡 Explanation

Pump cavitation erosion risk increases because rapid pressure drops induce vapor bubble formation and subsequent collapse near the restrictor. This is cavitation, because the local pressure falls below the oil vapor pressure; therefore, erosion damage results, rather than other hydraulic inefficiencies.
