Which risk increases when rapidly cycling a hydraulic actuator attached to a reciprocating pump?

💡 Explanation

Pump cavitation and component erosion risk increases because rapid cycling stresses the pump; this generates vacuum bubbles via the vapor pressure mechanism. Therefore, cavitation erosion exceeds design limits, rather than temperature rise that would be slower.
