← TechnologyWhich undesirable outcome increases in hydraulic actuator speed regulation, specifically during rapid deceleration?
A)Increased risk of cavitation damage✓
B)Reduced actuator response time
C)Elevated oil viscosity and drag
D)Improved servo valve linearity
💡 Explanation
Cavitation risk increases because rapid deceleration induces a sudden pressure drop in the hydraulic fluid; this vaporizes, creating bubbles that collapse violently due to the inertia of the fluid during flow changes – i.e., the mechanism of inertial cavitation – therefore, resulting in damage, rather than the control system improving or viscosity changing.
