A high performance controller for dc brushless rotors is proposed in this paper. The controller is based on the theories of variable structure tracking. With the proposed method, the rotor position can trace any arbitrarily selected track with high degree of accuracy, and without overshooting or overstressing the hardware of the system. The control strategy is adaptive and very robust. External disturbances and variations in system parameters are adaptively compensated by the tracking controller. The proposed controller is suitable for such applications as robotic, actuation and manipulation where most of the present fixed parameters positional control methods are inadequate. The proposed system is designed and implemented in the laboratory. Test results are presented and discussed in this paper.
