Abstract
Sticking valves tend to cause cycles in control systems used in industry, degrading
product quality and yield. Many attempts have been made to alleviate the impact of stiction.
Mechanical knockers are used with success to knock loose the sticking components. Most other
stiction compensation methods attempt to find ways to move the control output by an amount
greater than the stiction band, while still getting the valve position as close as possible to the
desired position. This paper shows how, instead of overcoming stiction and getting the valve
position to the control output, the valve can be moved such that over time, the valve is on
average at the correct position, while still moving the valve in increments that are larger than
the stiction band.
