With the development of the new kinds of permanent magnetic materials and the tech of drive circuits, more and more electromechanical actuators have been used in the space applications, such as tactical missiles, smart UAV and so on. This study presents an electromechanical actuator actuated by four Brushless DC motors (BLDC) driven rudder wings .Two different control schemes are implemented to regulate the output angle of the EMA rudder wings. Namely a fuzzy logic PID controller (Fuzzy-PID)and a genetic algorithm optimized PID (GA-PID) controller. The feasibility of the two controllers is evaluated both numerically and experimentally, it is shown that Fuzzy-PID leads to a loss of control in high frequency conditions, while, GA-PID can ensure the precise angle control and an accurate tracking performance.
