In this paper, a novel adaptive-gain sliding mode observer (SMO) is designed for sensorless control of permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSMs). By the proposed adaptive-gain algorithm, the gain can dynamically adapt to a changing operation condition of the PMLSMs and reach an appropriate value in finite time. Stability of the SMO is proved by using Lyapunov stability theory. Compared with the traditional SMO, the adaptive-gain SMO can improve the control precision, especially when the operation condition is not invariant. Simulation results are given to show the advantages of the proposed method.
