A small error can lead to the motor continually ''hunting'' for a target causing unwanted effects. A non-zero DeadBand can prevent this behavior.

The motor will be disengaged when it enters the Deadband. If your application needs to hold position against an external force (e.g. gravity), a Deadband is likely to cause oscillations and should be avoided.
