A hysteresis error is a deviation of the sensor’s output at a specified point of the input signal when it is approached from the opposite directions. For example, a displacement sensor when the object moves from left to right at a certain point produces a voltage which differs by 20 mV from that when the object moves from right to left. If the sensitivity of the sensor is 10 mV/mm, the hysteresis error in terms of displacement units is 2 mm. Typical causes for hysteresis are friction and structural changes in the materials.
