Abstract
An actuator, including a dynamic component, a static component. A seal is disposed between the dynamic component and the static component. A bypass pathway is open to flow dependent upon a position of the dynamic component relative to the static component, the bypass pathway when open changing a required flow rate to move the dynamic component relative to the static component. A method including applying a first pressure across a seal between a static component and a dynamic component, moving the dynamic component, opening or closing a bypass pathway with the movement, bypassing fluid when open whereby a higher flow rate is required to continue the movement of the dynamic component. A wellbore system, including a borehole in a subsurface formation, a string in the borehole, and an actuator disposed within or as a part of the string.
