Abstract

Friction can be found in all mechanical systems, and is the cause of control tracking error. In this article, LuGre friction model for symmetric hydraulic cylinder was studied and obtained experimentally. The estimated friction force was applied for reference force compensation. Force tracking performances of PID force control systems with and without friction compensation were tested and compared. Control system with friction compensation outperformed one without in all cases of tracking tests. The best result was found in the square force tracking tests, with an average error at maximum compression force of 86.105 N in the case of with friction compensation compared with error of 511.996 N in the case without. However, the estimated friction achieved in the study was noisy. This is due to the use of noisy numerically differentiated velocity signal in the friction estimation procedure.
