The electro-hydraulic servo system is widely used in industrial automation fields for its merits of the high force to weight ratio, compact size, and fast response. However, the parameter uncertainties and external disturbances of the electro-hydraulic servo system significantly deteriorate the control performance of conventional linear controller in practice. To deal with this problem, sliding mode controller (SMC) that incorporates high gain observer (HGO) is proposed in this paper. HGO is used to obtain the accurate time derivative of position signal for sliding mode controller design. The stability of the control system is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability theory. Comparation simulation is conducted to validate the effectiveness of the presented control scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
