Hysteresis in Hydraulic Valves

Measurement, Limits & Engineering Significance

1. What is Hysteresis?

Hysteresis in hydraulic valves refers to the difference in output for the same input depending on whether the signal is increasing or decreasing. It indicates a memory effect in the system.

Hysteresis = Difference between rising and falling response at the same input.
  • Spool friction
  • Magnetic effects
  • Seal deformation
  • Internal leakage
Hydraulic valve hysteresis loop
Typical hysteresis loop showing different output paths for increasing and decreasing input.

2. Measurement on Test Bench

  • Input Sweep: Gradually increase signal
  • Reverse Sweep: Decrease signal
  • Plot Curve: Input vs Output
  • Calculate: Max deviation

Hysteresis is expressed as % of full-scale output.

3. Acceptable Limits

Valve Type Hysteresis Application
On/Off Not critical Binary operation
Directional 5–15% General systems
Proportional 3–10% Controlled flow
Servo <3% Aerospace precision

4. Why High Hysteresis is a Problem

High hysteresis acts like a deadband, reducing responsiveness and control accuracy.

5. Test Bench Identification
