Which risk increases when using a proportional valve-controlled hydraulic actuator at very high frequencies?

A)Actuator overheating from fluid compression
B)Reduced positioning accuracy due to hysteresis
C)Increased power consumption in steady state
D)Component corrosion from fluid aeration

💡 Explanation

When a hydraulic actuator with a proportional valve is operated at high frequencies, hysteresis in the valve's response becomes significant due to internal friction and fluid dynamics, leading to delays and inaccuracies in position control. Therefore reduced positioning accuracy results, rather than overheating, increased power, or corrosion, which are driven by different factors.
