Abstract

In this paper, a periodic signal suppression method in position domain based on repetitive control (RC) is proposed to realize high-precision speed control for the gimbal servo system of the single gimbal control moment gyro (SGCMG). To reduce the volume and weight while outputting large torque, the gimbal servo system usually needs to install the harmonic drive. However, the nonlinear transmission characteristics of the harmonic drive are also introduced into the gimbal servo system and make the speed fluctuate. Considering the speed fluctuation signal shown as a fixed frequency in the position domain, a position domain RC method combined with acceleration feedback is designed to realize the speed fluctuation minimization. The position domain RC improves the dynamic characteristics, while the acceleration feedback increases the damping of the system. To analyze the stability, the position domain RC is converted into the time domain through the domain transformation method, and a phase compensator is designed to improve the stability and increase the bandwidth of the position domain RC by compensating for the phase lag of the middle and low frequency, respectively. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the simulation and experimental results. These results illustrate that after applying the proposed approach, the output speed fluctuation and harmonic components decrease more than 20% and 24.1%, respectively.
