← TechnologyWhich valve failure causes hydraulic actuator deadband during fine positioning?
A)Internal leakage across spool lands✓
B)Excessive pilot stage pressure drop
C)Accumulator pre-charge pressure decay
D)System-wide fluid contamination levels
💡 Explanation
Internal leakage across spool lands causes deadband because the valve cannot maintain position against load; control fluid bypasses the intended flow path through unintended gaps, therefore precise actuator control is lost, rather than through pilot malfunctions or contamination.
