Abstract
Abstract An apparatus and method for position control by a DC servomotor having improved stiffness. An electric current (i R ) of the servomotor is interpreted anew and defined as follows: ##EQU1## where θ is an observed rotation angle of the load (L), θ c is a precommanded value, K F is a feedback coefficient, and K V is a velocity coefficient. After normalizing the above equation, stiffness (S) can be increased by incorporating a limiter into the control system, thus providing prompt response and smooth covergence of θ to θ c with a high degree of stiffness maintained at the precommanded angle (θ c ).
