A hydraulic system is modeled as the second order differential equation with uncertain system parameters and disturbance composed of modeling errors. To Position the load of the hydraulic system to a desired point. the servo valve of the hydraulic system is controlled. As a control scheme. a global sliding mode control(GSMC) is Proposed Since the servo valve has a torque limit. the GSMC is designed to coordinate the position of the load along the minimum time trajectory within the torque limit. The Proposed control scheme can be designed with ranges of parametric uncertainties and specified torque limits. By the proposed control scheme, the closed form solution of the arriving time at the desired position can be estimated.
