🔍 Key Concepts

• Flow rate vs. actuator speed in hydraulic systems • Relationship between volume of fluid delivered and linear motion per unit time • What happens to pressure when flow changes but load and system design stay the same

💭 Think About

• Think about how far the piston in a linear actuator moves for each unit of fluid that enters the cylinder. What does changing the flow rate affect: distance moved per stroke, or how fast that distance is covered? • If you send only half as much fluid per second to the actuator, what happens to the time it takes for the actuator to extend the same distance? • Does pump discharge pressure automatically drop just because flow is reduced, or is pressure mainly a function of system resistance and load?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between speed (rate of movement) and force (related to pressure and piston area) • Confirm that in an ideal hydraulic system, actuator speed is directly related to flow rate (gallons per minute, GPM) • Check whether anything in the question says the load or system resistance changes when the flow is reduced
