This paper presents the precision control of drive devices with significant stick-slip friction. The controller design follows the Pseudo-Derivative Feedback (PDF) control algorithm. Using the second order system model, the PDF controller offers arbitrary pole placement. In this paper, the stability proof for the controller with stick-slip friction is presented. On the basis of this proof, the stability criteria are derived. The paper also includes both the computer simulation and the experimental works to confirm the theoretical result. The experiments conducted on a Traction Type Drive Device (TTDD) shows that control accuracy of as high as ±1 arc – second is achieved.
