The main property of VSC is that the system response is robust and insensitive to parameter variations and external disturbances in the sliding mode if their bounds are known to the designer of the system control. But sometimes these bounds may not be easily obtained. However, fuzzy control provides an effective way to design the controller of the system with the disturbances and parameter variations. Therefore, combination of the best feature of fuzzy control and sliding mode control is considered. When using the conventional VSC, generally the reaching phase problem occurs, which cause the system response to be sensitive to parameter variations and external disturbances. In order to overcome these problems, a robust position control method of the BLDC motor using an adaptive fuzzy VSC without leaching phase is presented.
