Which risk increases when hydraulic actuator velocity is rapidly increased near the pump's cavitation limit?

💡 Explanation

When actuator velocity increases rapidly triggering cavitation, vapor bubbles form, then violently collapse creating immense pressure fluctuations because the system is already operating nearing its design constraint. Therefore, pressure spikes lead to premature seal failure, increase the breakdown rate and the potential for cavitation, rather than compliance, sticking, or increased viscosity which involve separate dominating conditions.
