The main purpose of this article is to propose a linear model‐based approach for improving the tracking performance of linear motors. In particular, P ‐ and PI ‐controllers, augmented with a linear‐model‐based feedforward controller and disturbance observer ( DOB ), were utilized in this research. Experimental results show that the feedforward controller can substantially reduce the phase‐delay problem resulting from the limitation of closed‐loop bandwidth. In addition, the DOB can reject nonlinear behaviors to keep a motor‐system close to our nominal linear model. Compared with the results of using P ‐ and PI ‐controllers only, tracking errors were reduced from 4.44% to 0.67% of the desired trajectory. Therefore, the proposed method provides a solution for improving the tracking performance of linear motors.
