Abstract: This study deals with the control of a 12/14 hybrid pole type bearingless switched reluctance motor which is a highly non-linear, multi variable and open loop unstable system. A novel control method for suspending the rotor and regulating the speed of the BSRM based on decoupled nature of torque and suspension force is discussed. The proposed control strategy integrates a neuron with auto-tuning and the sliding mode control in order to eliminate the rotor eccentricity error and torque ripples. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed auto tuning neuron-sliding mode controller guarantees stable suspension as well as the speed tracking.
